Licensed Health Care Providers Needed
Per the Florida Department of Health, Florida needs qualified health care practitioners to support recovery efforts following the devastation of Hurricane Ian. Currently, there are over 200 shelters operating to serve displaced Floridians, and rescue efforts continue for those who did not evacuate.
Immediate assistance for affected areas is provided by first responders, health care practitioners, government groups, disaster relief organizations and affiliated volunteers who are already trained and ready to serve. It is important for health care practitioners to not self-deploy, but to instead register with trusted organizations so response efforts can be coordinated properly.
