Volunteers needed for Medical Corps

Valley residents can now explore volunteer opportunities with the Medical Reserve Corps.

Prospective volunteers can include racticing, retired or otherwise employed medical professionals, such as doctors, nurses, emergency medical technicians, pharmacists, nurses’ assistants and others. Tribal and community members and employees without medical training can assist with administrative and other essential support functions.

United States citizenship is not required to be part of the MRC. Non-citizen, legal U.S. residents also are welcome to volunteer and contribute their time, knowledge and skills to protecting and improving their communities.
