Does MRC participate in events or activities where there isn an emergency?
Yes. MRC volunteers have opportunities to contribute to their communities throughout the year. MRC volunteers strengthen the overall health of their community by participating in general public health initiatives such as flu vaccination clinics, fostering disaster preparedness, and providing various health education and free Blood Pressure checks at health fairs. Volunteers also participate in exercises, training and active recruitment. The U.S. Surgeon General has outlined his priorities for the health of individuals and the nation as a whole. The overarching goal is to improve health literacy, and in support of this, he encourages MRC volunteers to increase disease prevention, elimination of health disparities, in addition to public health preparedness.
