Volunteer
In the event of a bioterrorist attack, pandemic, or other threat to public health that requires dispensing medication to the entire community, volunteers will be critical.
Georgia Responds is the organization representing Georgia’s health and medical volunteer programs, and the simplest way to give back to your community. Less paperwork. More helping. Volunteers need to be organized, pre-credentialed, and ready to mobilize. Registration is now simplified through a one-step registration portal.
If you are a health care provider, you may donate care to Georgia’s uninsured – now with the protection of sovereign immunity – in the Georgia Volunteer Health Care Program (GVHCP). Or, be part of a national initiative to assist emergency response and public safety organizations during a disaster with SERVGA – the program that alleviates issues associated with non-certified and spontaneous volunteerism through an innovative pre-credentialing system. Even help build a strong, safe and resilient community with The Medical Reserve Corps, a national network of locally based volunteer groups, health departments, hospitals and other emergency responders. Georgia Responds places all of these programs at your fingertips.
