The primary role of the MRC is to help distribute antibiotics or vaccine during an emergency requiring mass prophylaxis of a large number of New Yorkers. The MRC works in partnership with professional associations, universities, and hospitals to organize this multidisciplinary group of volunteer health professionals. Although the MRC is a federal initiative, NYC’s team is being created to support the emergency needs of our local area. A rapid emergency response will provide a timely return to stability for our communities. MRC volunteers can play a critical role in making this happen. The MRC brings together the knowledge and skills of a wide range of health professionals to address public health crises, including: • Physicians • Dentists • Nurses and nurse practitioners • Physician Assistants • Pharmacists • Mental health practitioners • Podiatrists • Chiropractors • Optometrists • Medical assistants and technicians • Respiratory, Occupational, or Physical Therapists • EMTs/Paramedics • Health Professional Students Information-share among health care stakeholders can be found at the HAN (Health Alert Network)
