Are you a medical professional in Colorado? Colorado is looking for volunteer medical personnel such as nurses, physicians, respiratory therapists, dentists, pharmacists and mental health counselors, to name a few, to improve the state’s ability to respond to disasters or public health emergencies.

Volunteers with medical backgrounds could help operate emergency clinics, triage patients, assist first receivers, and improve surge capacity at hospitals during emergencies.  Even if you do not hold a medical license, you too can be part of the action, as non-medical personnel also will be needed to assist.
