Stories From Volunteers

As a Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) volunteer, I have the opportunity and privilege of serving my community in the event of an emergency.  MRC training and credentialing have opened the way for me to assist during a disaster as a non-medical volunteer. In an emergency, non-medical support volunteers are needed, as well as nurses, physicians and other medical staff. To pitch this message to the community, the Lexington-Fayette County MRC has been recruiting members this summer at the home baseball games of the Lexington Legends. Emergency preparedness has been a topic of interest among the fans at the ball park. MRC is an organization that trains its members to be prepared and ready to put their concern into action.
