As discussed at our January meeting, Orange County has a volunteer organization to help in the event of a large-scale public health emergency.  The MRC will supplement Orange County Public Health personnel resources with volunteer medical and mental health professionals from the community.  They hold meetings a few times a year that offer informative and important health updates, genearlly in the 911 Emergency Center in Goshen. 

If you'd like to sign up and give something back to your community, here is the link for more information on how to apply as well as previous newsletters to see what has been done recently within this organization.  (I highly recommend this organization! -Karen)  http://www.co.orange.ny.us/content/124/1334/5016/4838/default.aspx
