In the wake of Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita, we know that many healthcare professionals in our network may be working in difficult circumstances, and many more are on their way to provide much-needed medical help in the worst-afflicted areas. To all of our customers involved in this crisis, we would like to express our sincere thanks and support for your incredible work. We hope that you, your loved ones, patients, and personal property are safe and unharmed.
The Alabama Department of Public Health is calling for volunteers in the relief effort. To volunteer, please contact Jessica Hardy at the Alabama Department of Public Health at jhardy@adph.state.al.us. You will need to provide your name, specialty, Alabama license status, and availability information.
Message from FEMA: Volunteers should not report directly to the affected areas unless directed by a voluntary agency. Self-dispatched volunteers can put themselves and others in harm's way and hamper rescue efforts.
Message from the Dept. of Health & Human Services: At this time, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is NO longer accepting individual medical and relief worker applications. More than 33,000 health care professionals and relief personnel have registered with the Department of Health and Human Services for possible deployment in affected areas. We thank you for your interest.
GROUPS: HHS remains interested in identifying groups (of at least five health care professionals or relief personnel from a single employer) who are interested in deploying as a group. Learn more
