How does the Volunteer for Virginia Health System (VVHS) work in relation to other volunteer service organizations in my community, such as the American Red Cross or Salvation Army?
The VVHS is used by Virginia Medical Reserve Corps units and local health districts. The Virginia Department of Health and your local health district work closely with other emergency response groups, such as the Red Cross, Salvation Army, Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT), Citizen Corps partners and others to coordinate volunteers in an emergency. We are not the same organization, but we all work together to address our communities’ needs.
