Learn about Medical Reserve Corps

The town’s Board of Health and Medical Reserve Corps executive committee are hosting an informational session and ice cream social for potential volunteers Wednesday from 4 to 7 p.m. at Town Hall, 66 Westford St. The community-based unit brings together medical and nonmedical personnel to supplement Carlisle’s emergency response resources in the event of a public health emergency, natural disaster, or other situation requiring large-scale assistance. The gathering will provide information on how to join the effort, what might be involved, and the training provided. For more information, call the Board of Health at 978-369-0283.
