MRC At the Summit
MRCSA was fortunate to receive a scholarship to attend the 2025 Public Health Preparedness Summit in San Antonio.
As usual, the Summit was the most information packed evet we've attended. In addition to a full day devoted to MRC, workshops covered Weapons of Mass Destruction and Excessive Heat Preparedness and Response to Access and Functional Needs, Public Health Nursing and more.
We will incorporate these great tools and training from the Summit into MRCSA operations this year.
