Medical Reserve Corps (MRC)

The Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) is one of several components of Citizen Corps and USA Freedom Corps.  It is a network of community-based, citizen volunteer Medical Reserve Corps units, which have been initiated and established by people and institutions for use in their community.  MRC units provide training to health professionals and other interested persons to help strengthen their communities by preparing for and responding to large-scale emergencies, such as an influenza epidemic, chemical spill, or act of terrorism, as well as ongoing public health needs.

When you sign up for the Ohio Medical Reserve Corps you become an identified professional resource. When an emergency occurs, you will be notified when and where to respond. You will resolve all usual concerns about liability, licensing, security and safety. Most of all, you will make a difference in our community.
