1
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:05,133
(calming, guitar music)

2
00:00:09,517 --> 00:00:12,030
- GuardCare is a partnership between

3
00:00:12,030 --> 00:00:15,330
the Ohio National Guard and
the Ohio Department of Health

4
00:00:15,330 --> 00:00:17,000
in order to provide free services

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:18,350
to the communities of Ohio.

6
00:00:19,820 --> 00:00:22,040
- [Woman] Services are usually dictated by

7
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:23,240
the Ohio Department of Health

8
00:00:23,240 --> 00:00:26,310
or the community that has
been assigned GuardCare.

9
00:00:26,310 --> 00:00:28,510
So the Ohio Department of Health will

10
00:00:28,510 --> 00:00:30,290
look at geographic location,

11
00:00:30,290 --> 00:00:32,970
they'll look at health data from the area

12
00:00:32,970 --> 00:00:36,330
and determine which
county needs the support.

13
00:00:36,330 --> 00:00:39,520
And then, they'll go to that
county department specifically.

14
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,020
So we're in Tuscarawas County,

15
00:00:41,020 --> 00:00:43,810
that Tuscarawas County
health department needed

16
00:00:43,810 --> 00:00:45,600
specific things such as vitals,

17
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,880
dental screenings, hearing
screenings, vision,

18
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:50,630
immunizations,

19
00:00:50,630 --> 00:00:53,810
EKG, and STD screenings as well.

20
00:00:56,110 --> 00:00:59,170
- This has been a year of
planning and hard work.

21
00:00:59,170 --> 00:01:03,030
A lot of non-profit partners,
the hospital systems here,

22
00:01:03,030 --> 00:01:05,490
everyone had to come together to work,

23
00:01:05,490 --> 00:01:08,440
again, for over a year's
effort to make this come off,

24
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,273
this wonderful two-day weekend.

25
00:01:11,580 --> 00:01:12,670
- [Woman] It's really great to go out

26
00:01:12,670 --> 00:01:15,450
and actually serve
communities within our state

27
00:01:15,450 --> 00:01:19,120
and serve our civilians and
people we may know specifically.

28
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,190
It also provides great
training opportunity for

29
00:01:21,190 --> 00:01:23,740
National Guardsmen, so they
can actually do their job

30
00:01:23,740 --> 00:01:26,033
and provide those services.

31
00:01:28,750 --> 00:01:30,640
- Most importantly, the partnership,

32
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,040
our folks working side by side

33
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,040
with providers from the community,

34
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,350
with the administrative
folks from the community,

35
00:01:36,350 --> 00:01:38,540
all working together
just to provide services.

36
00:01:38,540 --> 00:01:41,030
I can tell ya, this the
highlight of the year for

37
00:01:41,030 --> 00:01:43,080
the medical personnel who
are involved with this.

38
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,040
Despite of all the
high-speed training we do,

39
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,270
the deployments we do, providing
services in the community,

40
00:01:48,270 --> 00:01:50,620
that's what our folks
get really excited about.
