APP MRC's Story of Resilience during Hurricane Helene

Nadia Chauhan (Program Manager), Caroline Nunnally (Team Lead), Cynthia Baker (First-year Intern), and Olive Thompson (First-year Intern) share how the Appalachian Medical Reserve Corps (APP MRC) supported the Hurricane Helene response. In addition to establishing a nonemergency call center with 24/7 availability and developing a related training program for APP MRC volunteers, the team managed a significant surge in volunteers who were deployed to help unload trucks of supplies for hospitals and clinics in the region, supporting more than six shelters in the area with MRC clinical providers as needed.
