WOOD RIVER — The Madison County Health Department was recently honored for its sponsorship of the Medi-cal Reserve Corps.

The department received an Outstand-ing MRC Sponsoring Organization Award by the Medical Reserve Corps Program from the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

The award, which is given annually, is based on the continued commitment to “fostering the identity and growth” of the county’s MRC, while helping sustain the support and enthusiasm of existing volunteers.

The MRC includes several hundred volunteers who would assist the Health Department in the event of a public health emergency. Specific tasks might include assisting with epidemiological investigations, dispensing medications, helping clients, restocking supplies or assisting with clerical duties.

“They are the reason our MRC unit is able to continue to prepare in order to protect and promote the health and wel-fare of Madison County residents,” Cathy Paone, Madison County MRC volunteer coordinator, said.

Some of the volunteers have been help-ing with community outreach and man-ning the local COVID-19 testing sites, and are expected to have an expanded role as the fight against COVID-19 continues. This is especially true if there is a vaccine developed that would require widespread immunization.

The county’s MRC was established in November 2005 under the direction of Madison County Health Department

Director Toni Corona.It currently has 453 volunteers.“It is a great honor,” Corona said

about receiving the award. “We are so appreciative of our residents’ willing-ness to engage in our community to help with public health issues and emer-gency response. Madison County Health Department is proud to house the Madi-son County MRC and support their ongo-ing efforts to help us protect the public’s health.”

Today the MRC does more than simply respond to emergencies like the current coronavirus pandemic.

“Our MRC unit is fully integrated into our public health emergency response plan and volunteers have played impor-tant roles in our full-scale exercises,” stated Paone. “When we asked to expand the role of our unit from being ready to respond in an emergency to also engage in opportunities to promote emergency preparedness and other health and well-ness initiatives in the community, the proposal was immediately and enthusias-tically approved by our director.”

That includes participation in the Substance Abuse Outreach Project, part of the fight against the opioid crisis in Madison County; and collaboration in the Partnership for Drug Free Communities - Treatment and Recovery Subcommittee; in addition to working with a number of organizations and agencies.

The MRC continues to look for addi-tional volunteers.

“For many Americans, 2020 has left them feeling at a loss for how to help,” Corona said. “It has also provided an opportunity for citizens to recognize and seek different ways to help their commu-nity than ever before.

“Being part of the MRC gives our residents a chance to put in to action a shared belief that by joining our neigh-bors and local leaders we can make our country stronger and better for decades to come,” she added.

For more information or to volunteer, visit www.co.madison.il.us/departments/health/medical_reserve_corps_(mrc).php or contact, Paone at 618-296-6096 or cmpaone@co.madison.il.us.

The event will be held at CJD E-Cycling at 5257 Illinois 157, Edwards-ville, to avoid interfering with a protest planned at Granite City Hall.

Items not accepted include business and contractor waste, paint, hazardous waste, batter-ies, oils, fire extinguish-ers, propane tanks, oxy-gen tanks, DVDs, VHSs, CDs, or cassette tapes, transformers or ballasts, and devices containing mercury including smoke detectors.
