The Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) was founded after President Bush ’s 2002 State of the Union Address, in which he asked all Americans to volunteer in support of their country. MRC units are community-based and function as a way to organize and utilize volunteers who donate their expertise, skills, and time to supplement existing local emergency and public health resources in preparing for and responding to emergencies and promoting healthy living throughout the year.

Medical Reserve Corps volunteers include medical and public health professionals such as physicians, nurses, pharmacists, health care technicians, dentists, therapists, veterinarians, and epidemiologists. Other community members can fill vital support positions in administration, communications, database management, finance, information technology, law, logistics, transportation, religious affairs, and security.

If you are interested in the MRC, we are interested in you and invite you to apply.
