The Public Health Department maintains a registry of credentialed medical-health professionals through our Medical Volunteers for Disaster Response (MVDR) Program.  This program has consisted primarily of nurses and physicians and served as a registry of personnel to be used in times of public health emergency.

In order to make our program more diverse and to recruit potential command and control positions, the County is actively seeking EMT and Paramedic participation.  Click on the link below for more information regarding requirements and conditions.  The packet includes various information along with the application form and registration instructions.
