Bill Murphy, Director, Framingham Public Health Department, and Roberta Ho, affiliated with the Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) gave a very interesting talk on our local MRC.
The MRC is a national network of dedicated volunteers to improve the health and safety of their communities. The MRC recruits, trains, and activates volunteers to respond to community health and safety needs during emergencies. As an example, they were instrumental in providing vaccinations during the COVID 19 pandemic.
The Middlefolk MRC contains 10 communities, including our four service areas of Ashland, Framingham, Holliston and Hopkinton.
The MRC is looking for medical and nonmedical volunteers.
