Williamson County Seeks Medical Corps Volunteers

WILLIAMSON COUNTY, TX — In light of September being Preparedness Month, county officials are urging residents to get involved by joining the Williamson County Medical Reserve Corps.

The corps is a team of medical, non-medical, public health, and other Williamson County-area volunteers who are interested in helping educate, prepare, and protect the ever-growing community. Volunteers assist in promoting wellness, safety, and preparedness throughout the county.

“Volunteering is a great way for residents who may be new to the area to meet their neighbors, or long-time residents that just want to give back to the community,”William Hendon, WilcoMRC Unit Leader, said in a prepared statement. “The training opportunities are also a valuable benefit for those interested in expanding their preparedness knowledge.”

Medical Reserve Corps is a partner program of Citizen Corps, a national network of volunteers dedicated to ensuring hometown security. Citizen Corps, along with the Corporation for National and Community Service, and the Peace Corps are all part of the President's USA Freedom Corps, which promotes volunteerism and service throughout the nation.
