Medical Reserve Corp (MRC)
What is the Medical Reserve Corp?
The Medical Reserve is a national network of more than 200,000 volunteers, organized locally to improve the health and safety of their communities.
The MRC organization brings together persons from healthcare and other disciplines to support local public health, emergency and medical services. When a disaster occurs, many Americans react by offering to help. To be ready to provide the rapid response needed in a disaster, volunteers need to be trained and organized. A key function of the MRC is to provide members with that specialized training and preparation.
