Medical Reserve Corps
In a disaster or major emergency, volunteers are needed for activities that support disaster relief groups, community safety organizations, emergency medical services, and community public health efforts. The Medical Reserve Corp (MRC) is a body of Medical and Non-Medical Volunteers who are trained to respond to emergency and non-emergency events/incidents. Medical background is not required to sign up for the MRC.
The Schenectady County Medical Reserve Corp was activated as part of the COVID-19 Pandemic response and also assisted at Vaccination Points of Dispensing (PODs).
What is the Medical Reserve Corps?
Founded in 2001, the Medical Reserve Corps is a partner program with Citizen Corps, a national network of volunteers dedicated to ensuring hometown security. The Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) Program coordinates the skills of practicing and retired physicians, nurses, and other health professionals as well as other citizens interested in health issues, who are eager to volunteer to address their community's ongoing public health needs and help their community during large-scale emergencies.
