Fayette County Medical Reserve Corps

02/19/2026

Interested in serving your community? We're inviting new recruits and existing Fayette County Medical Reserve Corps members to a brief volunteer training. We will also review program updates and plan 2026 meetings and events.

You don't have to be a medical professional to join. Our MRC team includes community members who help with registration, clerical support, parking, logistics, and many other essential roles.

Come learn how you can play a role in strengthening local public health response efforts! For more information, email Ethan, our MRC coordinator, at [email protected].

We will be at this event tomorrow, supporting the community. If you attend, stop by the first aid table and say hello.

This is the schedule for tomorrow’s “Light in the Dark” event.

The walk will start at 7:30 PM.

Gates open at 6:30 PM and we encourage you to come out to sign up for a raffle prize, grab a bite, view the memorial display and luminaries and visit with area agencies.

Resources and information will be available regarding mental health, su***de prevention, veterans support, family support and community connectedness, and more. Counselors will be present. This will be a supportive atmosphere.

There is no obligation to walk - please feel free to come out and offer support, get support, or just learn more about what our community is doing to be “a light in the dark” for our neighbors who are struggling.

We hope to see you there.

Everyone can be vulnerable to heat, but some more so than others. Check in with friends and relatives who fall in one of the vulnerable populations, especially if they don’t have air conditioning.

Tips for extreme heat:

Never leave people or pets in a closed car on a warm day.

Take cool showers or baths.

Wear loose, lightweight, light-colored clothing.

Use your oven less to help reduce the temperature in your home.

If you’re outside, find shade. Wear a hat wide enough to protect your face.

Drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated.

Avoid high-energy activities or work outdoors, during midday heat, if possible.

Check on family members, older adults and neighbors.

Watch for heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

Consider pet safety. If they are outside, make sure they have plenty of cool water and access to comfortable shade. Asphalt and dark pavement can be very hot to your pet’s feet.
