7/14/14 - Federal recognition has upgraded the local Public Health Volunteer Response Team to a medical reserve corps. The group is made up of more than 250 local medical and non-medical personnel who conduct emergency preparedness training and help respond to real public health emergencies. The new designation is federal recognition of the groupâs organization, experience, and dedication. With that recognition, the group gains improved access to government funding, closer cooperation with governmental units, and participation in education and training opportunities. The group has renamed itself the Livingston County Medical Reserve Corps to reflect its new status. Those interested in volunteering can find contact information on our website. (TD)
