Saline County Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) Coordinator Russ Donnell was at the meeting of the Saline County Commission on Thursday, September 6, and announced the Saline County Health Care Coalition will be conducting a full-scale exercise from 2 to 4 p.m. on Tuesday, September 18, at the Living Center in Marshall.

Donnell said the drill helps get agencies prepared in the event of a disaster.

Donnell said there will be nursing students from Missouri Valley College and students from the Marshall Practical Nurse program participating and playing roles in the exercise. During the exercise, he said patients will be moved from the canopy at the Living Center to the three different locations.
