Hamilton County Health Department Physician Volunteer Program

Chattanooga area physicians:  Are you interested in serving as a volunteer physician?  The Hamilton County Health Department is looking for volunteers to provide medical services in the case of a health care emergency.

The Volunteer Physicians Program is one component of a larger volunteer program and consists of medical professionals who are dedicated to ensuring that our community is healthy and safe. The program is affiliated with the national Medical Reserve Corps, and is a registered Medical Reserve Corps Unit.  Partnering with the Medical Reserve Corps gives the volunteer program national recognition; however, deployment outside the Hamilton County community is strictly voluntary.

TPQVO is assisting the Hamilton County Health Department's recruitment efforts by adding a question to the physician recredentialing and initial credentialing applications.  In the future when allied health practitioner volunteers are added to this program, TPQVO will add this language to area allied health application forms. 

TPQVO is also a partner in the planning process and will assist in the event of an emergency by providing credentialing services.

For more information about this voluntary program, go to the Health Department's website or contact them directly at 423-209-8074.
