The Teller County Medical Reserve Corps website is located at Teller County MRC.
The Teller County Medical Reserve Corps is made up of volunteers
willing to help the community in any disaster situation requiring
volunteer medical resources. It was established September 2007 to
support Teller County Public Health and the Teller County Office of
Emergency Management. TC-MRC is part of the Teller County Local
Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) which includes representatives of
all organizations with disaster response resources.
Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) units exist in all 50 states and are part
of the national disaster response network under the office of the U.S.
Surgeon General. There are 19 units in Colorado.
Currently in Teller County, the TC-MRC interim organizing team is
working on the next phase of operating structure and enrolling
volunteers. TC-MRC is initially recruiting Medical Professionals who
are licensed or certified by the State of Colorado (MDs, DOs, RNs,
LPNs, CNAs, EMTs, etc), and experienced medical adjunct personnel who
have experience working with patients (such as medical office staff,
Public Health staff, hospital unit secretaries, medical records
personnel, etc). Recruiting will include all eligible volunteers residing or practicing in Teller County.
The TC-MRC interim team consists of Dr. Heather Sharp, Ideal Family
Healthcare; Sharon Saunders, Pikes Peak Regional Hospital (PPRH);
Martha Hubbard, Teller County Public Health; Sherril Sirochman, Teller
County Public Health; and Neil Botting, at-large volunteer. In
addition, advisors to the team are Lt Greg Griswould, Office of
Emergency Management, Teller County Sheriff's Office; Chris Rubin,
Director Teller County Public Health; and Candy Shoemaker representing
the Teller County EMS Council.
