    Description

    Disaster Health Services (DHS) Volunteer

    Put Your Healthcare Skills to Work When Your Community Needs You Most!

    When disaster strikes, access to compassionate healthcare can make all the difference. The American Red Cross is seeking dedicated healthcare professionals to join our Disaster Health Services (DHS) team and help individuals and families affected by emergencies.

    As a Disaster Health Services Volunteer, you'll:

    • Provide disaster-related health support to individuals and families affected by emergencies.
    • Assist with local disaster responses, emergency shelters, and community outreach efforts.
    • Support disaster recovery efforts by helping individuals address their immediate health needs.
    • Collaborate with fellow Red Cross volunteers to provide compassionate care during times of crisis.

    Who Can Volunteer?

    We welcome qualified healthcare professionals with active, unrestricted licenses or certifications, including RNs, LPNs, LVNs, NPs, physicians, physician assistants, EMTs, and paramedics. Eligible retired nurses may also qualify depending on state regulations.

    Your skills can bring comfort, care, and hope to someone facing their hardest day. Join the American Red Cross Disaster Health Services team and make a difference beyond the bedside!
