Tamber Fuller, West Central MRC coordinator.

Tamber Fuller, the West Central Health District Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) coordinator, was recognized by the federal government as leading her district team to number one in the nation with the most activities held during 2011. Fuller credits the MRC volunteers in the community with the recognition.
 
"I can't take full credit of this prestigious recognition because it takes a team to succeed. From public health emergency preparedness staff, volunteer leads from the private sector, collaborating partners and our volunteers, we all connect well and it shows. It is true, there is no 'I' in team." Fuller said. "Volunteers want to be more than just a name on a list. They want to be active, they want to be recognized and they want to feel like they are giving back something beneficial to their community."

District Health Director Beverley Townsend, M.D., also recognized and congratulated Fuller on her hard work.

"It is because her tireless efforts and our volunteers dedication to the safety of the community that truly make this a well deserved recognition."
