NurseResponse system activated

Emergency conditions, caused by the recent early season snowstorm, have prompted the NYS Department of Health to activate the NurseResponse system for the Buffalo, New York area.

The database allows officials to reach registered nurses from throughout New York who may be able to assist with current staffing shortages. Nurses currently registered for NurseResponse will receive an official e-mail from the New York State Department of Health. If you haven't registered for NurseResponse, you must do so prior to volunteering. Use the link below to register now. Thank you for your cooperation and participation.
