During non-emergent times, MRC volunteers strengthen the overall health of Americans by participating in general public health initiatives such as flu vaccination clinics and diabetes detection programs.

The overarching goal is to improve health literacy, and in support of this, he encourages MRC volunteers to increase disease prevention, eliminating health disparities, in addition to public health preparedness.
