Whenever and wherever there’s a need, WE respond with heroism and skill.
NYRN Volunteers
Whenever and wherever there’s a healthcare need, NYRN volunteers respond with heroism and skill. Our model is founded on the skills required in the nursing process – medical and scientific expertise, and an understanding of the full range of human responses to illness – are the same skills we used when providing disaster relief.
NYRN’s disaster relief work began in the days after Hurricane Maria, when hundreds of nurses rushed into the devastation to help out. We went door-to-door in affected areas to assess medical needs, and get medical attention to people without electricity or running water.
Since then, we have deployed medical missions to the Philippines following Typhoon Haiyan; and to Florida, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands following Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria.
Now our work continues with a focus on primary and community healthcare, education, and disaster recovery.
