NMserves volunteers are an important asset for maintaining our communities’ health and for responding to health related emergencies. Volunteer support is needed for community activities such as mass immunization events and health screenings. Volunteers are also needed for emergency preparedness events such as exercises which help develop a community’s ability to prepare for, respond to and recovery from an emergency or disaster.

NMserves is looking for volunteers with varying skill levels and experience. We are currently recruiting:

Licensed healthcare Providers. Volunteers needed include clinical social workers; dentists; EMTs/paramedics; laboratory technologists and technicians; marriage and family therapists; medical records and health information technicians; mental health counselors; nurses; nurses aides; pharmacists; physicians; physician assistants; psychologists; radiologic technologists and technicians; respiratory therapists; and veterinarians.

Lay and Non-Healthcare Volunteers. Although the majority of our volunteers are licensed healthcare professionals, NMserves recognizes the value of other skills sets which are needed for an effective response to a health emergency. Some examples are clerical support; radio communications; customer service; word processing; data entry; inventory management; logistics; transportation; phone coverage; traffic control; accounting and janitorial services.
Retired healthcare providers who are no longer licensed or those in healthcare professions that do not require licensure would be registered under this category.
