SERV-NV (Volunteer!)

• 

General Information

The State Emergency Registry of Volunteers – Nevada (SERV-NV) is a secure web-based platform that registers, verifies, and credentials Nevada’s healthcare professionals in advance of major public health or medical emergencies. From this site, registrants can choose to join their local Medical Reserve Corps unit, the statewide volunteer pool, or other participating organizations.

SERV‑NV also serves as Nevada’s official Emergency System for Advance Registration of Volunteer Health Professionals (ESAR‑VHP), a national network that standardizes identity and credential verification to ensure qualified health professionals can be rapidly deployed when needed.

By registering through SERV‑NV, volunteers have their identities, licenses, credentials, accreditations, and hospital privileges verified in advance of any public health or medical emergency. While licensed healthcare professionals undergo full credential verification, SERV‑NV also welcomes non‑medical volunteers—anyone can register and support response efforts in a variety of important roles.

Formally Battle Born Medical Corp → Battle Born Statewide Volunteer Pool:

The Battle Born Statewide Volunteer Pool operates through SERV-NV, Nevada’s secure volunteer registry platform. This centralized system ensures audit-readiness and rapid mobilization. Unlike BBMC’s medical-only scope, BBSV supports a diverse range of volunteer roles, including public health outreach (e.g., vaccination clinics,), behavioral health support (e.g., crisis response), logistics support (e.g., shelter, supply distribution), community engagement (e.g., disaster drills). This flexibility allows agencies to request volunteers for non-clinical needs as well, broadening the impact statewide. 

The BBSV now serves as a multi-agency resource, supporting local health districts, emergency management offices, veterans’ services, behavioral health networks, and tribal and rural health partners.
