Volunteer for Minnesota Responds
Minnesota Responds is a partnership that integrates local, regional, and statewide volunteer programs to assist our public health and healthcare systems during a disaster. Major emergencies can overwhelm the capabilities of hospitals and clinics, particularly during the first 12 - 72 hours of a large scale emergency. Volunteers during this critical time can play an important role to improve overall response capabilities.
It is part of a federal initiative that requires every state to implement Systems for Advanced Registration of Volunteer Health Professionals (ESAR-VHP). The system adopts a program model recommended by the public health service called Medical Reserve Corps. Local volunteer coordinators mobilize health and "non-health" volunteers to respond to emergencies within the community, or if the volunteer is interested, within the state. Whether you work in a health field or not, active or retired, if you have an interest in assisting your community or state during a health crisis, we invite you to register in the Minnesota Responds MRC.
