Volunteer Programs

WHY VOLUNTEER?

The threat of pandemic influenza, recent flooding in the nation, wildfires, the devastation How will you respond?caused by record-breaking storms during hurricane season and the September 11 terrorist attacks have underscored the importance of having an emergency response plan that allows hospitals, healthcare systems and public health agencies to quickly mobilize the resources they need to maintain or increase facility, equipment and personnel capacity. By volunteering during a large-scale disaster or public health emergency, you will be ensuring that citizens — your family, friends and neighbors — have uninterrupted access to vital healthcare resources when they need them most!
