Are you a certified or licensed Medical Professional? Are you looking for volunteer opportunities?
The Mariposa County Medical Volunteers(MCMV) was created to support existing local emergency medical health response systems with the vision of providing trained and pre-certified volunteers. The volunteers shall be response ready as they will help manage health emergencies and natural disasters. The MCMV is intended to supplement existing personnel by augmenting medical and support staff shortages at local hospitals or emergency facilities.
As a Mariposa County Medical Volunteer and Disaster Service Worker, the State of California provides compensation benefits and liability protection for the volunteers. The MCMV is constructed to allow volunteers to serve and commit to suit ones schedule.
Goals
- To engage volunteer healthcare professionals to enhance the effectiveness of local emergency response efforts.
- Provide reserve capacity at the community level to response to local needs.
- Create a framework to match medical volunteers’ skills with the community’s needs.
