The Medical Reserve Corps is a network in the U.S. of community-based units initiated and established by local organizations aimed to meet the public health needs of their communities.
Loren Davine, Hampshire County MRC Director will tell us about this community-based, volunteer program that helps build the public health infrastructure of communities nationwide.
The mission of MRC is to build a strong, healthy and prepared region by empowering our volunteers with the training and resources they need to respond to the needs of local communities.
Please consider MRC a resource for keeping yourself, your families (including your pets), your businesses, and your communities safe by being prepared for emergencies. Volunteers are always needed and there are service opportunities for everyone.
§ Specialized response teams and programs to meet the needs of children, animals, seniors, and other vulnerable populations
