Our goal is to...
Create an organization of volunteers that is drawn from the ranks of active and retired professional healthcare providers of all disciplines, first responders, EMT and others that have a stake or significant interest in healthcare through non-professional entities that could augment and support active response protocols in times of major emergencies and or disasters.
Develop operational guidelines under which the AHMRC will conduct itself consistent with guidelines established by the National Office of MRC.
Recruit from all levels of the healthcare industry and associations, those people willing to volunteer their time in case of emergency or disaster. These levels will include, doctors, nurses, EMT’s, pharmacists, pharmacy techs, dentists, dental techs, therapists, and veterinarians.
Provide consistent training to all volunteers in the area of emergency management/disaster preparedness especially as it applies to the Incident Command System (ICS) and National Incident Management System (NIMS) including Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training, CPR/AED, and basic first aid.
Create an operational network that would assist specialized healthcare operations such as pharmaceutical distribution points, augment ER operations, work with first responders for mass casualty incidents, shelter coverage, etc.
Train with all local entities of police, fire, emergency management and with local partners in an effort to become more familiar with a multitude of emergency response characteristics.
