Newton - After Sept.11, 2001, America witnessed an outpouring of selflessness and heroism. People in every corner of the country asked “What can I do?” and “How can I help?” The Sussex County Medical Reserve Corps was created to help answer these questions. Sussex County’s Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) is a group of volunteers who assist the County’s response to wide-scale public health emergencies and events such as a disease outbreak, bio-terrorism attack, or other hazardous situations that put people at risk. The MRC needs volunteers to join a response team that can be ready at a moment’s notice to protect our community during public health emergencies. Both medically trained (physicians, registered nurses, pharmacists, psychologists, clinical social workers, mental health counselors, radiologic technologists, respiratory therapists, clinical laboratory technologists, and technicians and licensed practical nurses) and non-medical support staff is needed. To learn more, attend an information session on Jan. 30 from 1 to 2 p.m. or 6 to 7 p.m. at the Tri-Co Federal Credit Union Community Room, 47 Route 206, Augusta. For more information, contact Kristin Brown, MRC coordinator, at 973-579-0370 ext. 1243 or email: kbrown@sussex.nj.us.
