MMRC to Help Provide Infection Control Education to Residential Care Facilities

Marin County Public Health (MCPH) is engaging with Marin Medical Reserve Corps (MMRC) volunteers to launch a new program for supporting our long-term care facilities to achieve excellence in infection control and prevention. MCPH will provide education and training to MMRC volunteers who will serve as ambassadors to our long-term care facilities, providing onsite training and education for facility staff. Topics that the volunteers will learn about and then teach include the basics of infection prevention, universal and standard precautions, transmission based precautions and environmental hygiene. In time we hope to share our progress and highlight our strongest facility partners.

MMRC is an all-volunteer medical team made up of licensed healthcare providers. Volunteers are on standby to support the County of Marin with all types of emergencies and are actively engaged in community education and outreach. MMRC has been a valued partner throughout the pandemic, providing vaccinations and testing support to our most vulnerable populations.

Marin Medical Reserve Corps continues to recruit licensed clinicians throughout Marin County to support our pandemic response. Visit MarinHHS.org/MMRC for more information on how to register.

Know your COVID-19 Community Level

The CDC’s COVID-19 Community Levels are a tool to help communities decide what prevention steps to take based on the latest data. Levels can be low, medium, or high and are determined by looking at hospital beds being used, hospital admissions, and the total number of new COVID-19 cases in an area. Take precautions to protect yourself and others from COVID-19 based on the COVID-19 Community Level in Marin or other community in which you live, work or visit.
