Local Coalitions and Volunteer Opportunities
Medical Reserve Corps
The Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) is a national network of more than 200,000 volunteers who help make their communities stronger and healthier during disasters and every day. Volunteers are organized into community-based units that work to improve local emergency response capabilities, reduce potential public health risks and vulnerabilities, and build community preparedness and resilience.
