The Maryland
Department of Health wants health care professionals who
want to volunteer as first responders to provide services during a disaster or
emergency situation.
On Friday, Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan’s
office asked health care practitioners to be a part of the Maryland Responds
Medical Reserve Corps. Hogan spokesman Mike Ricci said the state is accepting
online registration from retired and inactive health care professionals as
well.
The creation of the Medical Reserve Corps
comes as one of Hogan’s emergency actions in response to the outbreak of the
coronavirus pandemic. The virus, which has accounted for more than 10,000
deaths worldwide, is said to be more fatal to seniors and those with
compromised immune systems.
