MissionThe Medical Reserve Corps mission on a national level is simple -- to help communities be better prepared to deal with disaster.
Locally-based MRC volunteers can assist during large-scale emergencies, such as an influenza epidemic, an act of terrorism, or a natural disaster. On a daily basis, they can be called upon to help in public health initiatives, and to offer education and prevention services to help improve the overall health of their neighborhoods and communities. |





MRC across the United States are forming to establish teams of local volunteer medical and public health professionals, along with lay personnel, who will contribute their skills and expertise during times of community, regional, and national disasters and also lend their support throughout the year.
