Saint Louis County, MO - A $10,000 grant to further develop and expand the Medical Reserve Corps has been awarded to the St. Louis County Department of Health by the National Association of City and County Health Officials (NACCHO).
The grant will allow the County to complete recruitment and training of fifty nurse volunteers and to begin recruiting volunteer interpreters. These volunteers will be activated when public health emergencies require the distribution of medications or vaccinations.
Recruitment of nurses for the Medical Reserve Corps started in September of 2007 and 25 nurses are currently undergoing training. For more information, please contact Saralou Hendrickson at 314-615-1635 or email her at shendrickson@stlouisco.com. |
