On May 31, MedStar Franklin Square Medical Center will hold an emergency preparedness exercise designed to test their surge capacity and decontamination procedures.

Twenty volunteers are needed from 8 a.m. to noon to participate as patients coming into the Emergency Department needing decontamination.

Please note, the process is entirely safe but does involve getting wet. The hospital asks that volunteers bring a bathing suit or something similar.

Volunteers must be over the age of 14. To sign up, call Loreal Froat at 443-777-2479.
