Emergency Volunteers Needed

We’ve all heard stories of heroes who have stepped forward to help during public health emergencies and natural disasters. Health care professionals have a special role to play during these events because of their invaluable medical training. Barb Williams, Director of Education and Training, is compiling a list of active or retired health professionals who live in the area, or who visit regularly, and could help during an emergency.

This effort is in response to a Vermont Department of Health directive asking hospitals to be prepared for a variety of emergencies by conducting inventories of facilities, supplies, and personnel.

If you’re a retired health professional living nearby, even part-time, please call Barb at (802) 365-3634 or e-mail her at barbw@otishealthcarecenter.org.
