Medical Reserve Corp (MRC)

Our name does not say it all. “Medical” may be in our title but we need volunteers with a variety of skills and trades. As a member of the MRC unit, you will be part of an organized and trained team. Volunteers will be ready and able to strengthen local emergency planning and response capabilities. As a unit, volunteers will assist during natural disasters, emergency incidents, events and public health activities. Train at your own speed and/or in group settings.
