Accountability of MRCMRC units across the nation must maintain compliance with the Office of the Civilian Volunteer Medical Reserve Corps (OCVMRC), headquartered in the Office of the U.S. Surgeon General, to maintain active national registry status. The OCVMRC functions as a clearinghouse for information and best practices to help communities establish, implement and maintain MRC units nationwide. Oklahoma's Program Policy and Development Council, which consists of representatives from the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH), the Emergency Medical Services Authority (EMSA), the Oklahoma Office of Homeland Security (OKOHS), The Tulsa Health Department (THD) and Oklahoma City-County Health Department (OCCHD) oversees the OKMRC program. The purpose of this committee is to make leadership decisions for OKMRC program operations and activities. This committee guides and directs the foundational elements of the OKMRC program. Subcommittees are formed or appointed as needed to research, examine and prepare for matters that impact the statewide system.
The OKMRC State Coordinator is directly responsible for coordinating program management and development. OKMRC County Coordinators serve as the point of contact for local volunteers and as a liaison between local community partners and the OKMRC Program Office. (See Appendix 1, OKMRC County Coordinators Standard Operating Procedures.) |
