Medical Reserve Corps

The Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) is a network of local volunteers, often healthcare professionals, who support public health initiatives and respond to emergencies. Established in 2002 in the United States, MRC units assist during disasters, provide health education, and promote community health. Volunteers receive training to prepare for various scenarios, such as natural disasters or disease outbreaks. By leveraging local resources and expertise, the MRC enhances community resilience and helps ensure a coordinated response during times of crisis, benefiting public health overall.
