The shuttered school is being turned into a medical shelter.
Volunteers will be providing patient care for patients with low-acuity conditions from regional hospitals. The alternative site will not be used to treat patients who have tested positive for COVID-19.
"There is a critical need for volunteers to serve their community as we face this pandemic together," said Delaware County Council Chairman Brian Zidek. "We are fortunate to a have a safe location for our family members, friends and neighbors to go, where they can receive medical care in the event that our hospitals become over-run with COVID-19 emergencies.
There is an urgent need for volunteers including:
-Active and retired medical and healthcare professionals such as doctors, nurses, dentists, pharmacists and veterinarians
-Medical and nursing students
-Behavioral Health professionals
-Support, Administrative and Logistic Staff
-Citizen Corps of Delaware County
