The American Red Cross relies on thousands of nurses and other health professionals to bring our mission to life each day. They bring relief to disaster victims, work in military hospitals, and collect lifesaving blood. They develop and teach courses ranging from disaster preparedness to addressing health equity through the social determinants of health. Red Cross health professional volunteers serve in direct care roles, management, supervisory and governing roles throughout our organization.
