IRT volunteers needed, appointment scheduling begins Monday
CHENANGO COUNTY — By now, most of Chenango County has at least heard of the Greater Chenango Cares Innovative Readiness Training (IRT) slated for July 13–22; but beginning Monday, organizers are calling on the county's volunteer base to assist in the operation.
Starting June 1, the Chenango United Way is handling all volunteer efforts and has even established a website designed to streamline the process of acquiring all needed personnel. Community members who wish to be a part of the collaborative by donating their time should visit http://volunteer.chenangouw.org to sign up for a slot.
“I am so excited and proud that the Chenango United Way is serving as the volunteer coordinator for this amazing event,” said Elizabeth Monaco, Director of the Chenango United Way. Monaco went on to say that the program will need to enlist the services of approximately 900 volunteers from surrounding communities to assist IRT personnel in delivering services.
Volunteers will not be providing any direct patient care, but will play an ancillary role in the success of the IRT.
“We anticipate that the IRT will be serving between 5,000-7,000 patients from in and around the Chenango County area, and volunteers will be critical to the success of this event,” added Monaco.
The military training exercise that will bring more than 60 military reservists will see patients needing basic healthcare. Patients will be offered medical, dental, optometry, and even veterinary care for pet owners.
Companion pets, dogs and cats are eligible to receive spay and neuter as well as rabies vaccinations. The services will be provided at no cost to patients, but some procedures must be scheduled in advance. While walk-ins are welcomed for general medical and optical service, patients needing dental work such as simple extractions, cleaning, or fillings should call 337-1643 between that hours of 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. Monday-Friday.
Likewise, pet owners who are seeking to have their cat or dog spayed or neutered should contact 334-9724 ext. 3 between the hours of 9 a.m. and 11 a.m to secure an appointment time.
Referral services will be offered to patients for continuation of care after completion of this mission, and there are no residency, income or insurance requirements to receive care.
