Medical Reserve Corps (MRC)

A National network of local groups of volunteers engaging local communities to strengthen public Health, reduce vulnerability, build resilience, and improve preparedness, response and recovery capabilities. In Delaware County, MRC falls under the umbrella of the Citizens Corps.

Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) volunteers include medical and public health professionals, such as physicians, nurses, physician assistants, pharmacists, dentists, veterinarians, and epidemiologists. Many other community members also support the MRC, such as interpreters, chaplains, office workers, and legal advisors.

Our Organization and Leadership

The MRC is organized into community-based units located throughout the United States and its territories. The program is directed at the local, regional, state, and national levels.

At the local level, each MRC unit is led by an MRC Unit Coordinator, who matches community needs—for emergency medical response and public health initiatives—with volunteer capabilities. Local coordinators are also responsible for building partnerships, ensuring the sustainability of the local unit, and managing the volunteer resources.
