We are an all-volunteer nonprofit (no paid staff).
Our mission is to augment existing community health operations during large-scale emergencies, aid in response to pressing health care needs, and improve community emergency preparedness.
We are explicitly included in the emergency response plans of Gwinnett Newton Rockdale County Health Departments and Gwinnett County Emergency Management. We support operation of disaster evacuee shelters, medical countermeasure dispensing, mass casualty and radiation incident response, and others as requested.
For example, our volunteers provided over 17,000 hours of support to the COVID-19 response, helping with 375,000 COVID tests and vaccinations.
We have helped with hurricane shelters, TB testing, vaccinations, CPR/AED training, and community health and preparedness education, among others.
