Our Mission, Vision and Goals
Our mission is to be dedicated
to establish teams of local medical and public health professionals and lay volunteers to contribute their skills and expertise
throughout the year as well as during times of community need. Our vision is to use the skills, knowledge and abilities of the
Wachusett Medical Reserve Corps membership to meet an identified public health need or emergency response.
Our goals are to use planning processes, developed policies and procedures, and training with response partners
to: - Recruit, enroll and maintain a corps of healthcare
and non-healthcare volunteers sufficient to respond to a public health emergency related to natural or manmade disasters or
emerging diseases in north Worcester County.
- Develop
and maintain a framework to match volunteers’ skills with the community’s needs, including medical surge capacity.
- Provide
opportunities for volunteers to assist with non-emergency public health functions/initiatives, such as health education, vaccination
clinics and public awareness campaigns.
- Deliver
comprehensive training opportunities to volunteers through simulation exercises, classroom training and access to online education
resources.
- Foster a culture of acceptance, recognition of the value
of volunteers, and utilization of volunteer staffing within north Worcester
County.
