The Medical Reserve Corps consists of both medical and non-medical volunteers.

Volunteering with the Medical Reserve Corps is a simple and effective way to use and improve skills while helping to keep your family, friends, and neighbors safe and healthy. Volunteering can give the great satisfaction of helping others. For many individuals, volunteering gives them a sense of purpose and meaning in their lives. It helps broaden their social networks and provides opportunity for social interactions.

Many MRC volunteers assist with activities to improve public health in their community – increasing health literacy, supporting prevention efforts, and eliminating health disparities. In emergencies, local resources get called upon first, sometimes with little or no warning. As an MRC member, you can be part of an organized and trained team.

Some training is required, but offered to you free of charge. Training is offered in a classroom setting or through on-line courses.

You can choose your level of participation. We understand that your work and personal commitments will determine your availability at any given time.
