Medical Reserve Corps

Marion County Medical Reserve Corps

The Florida Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) network helps facilitate the use of volunteers in Man in a wheelchair with a nurseemergency response.

The mission of the MRC is to enhance local health and medical staff with pre-identified, trained, and credentialed MRC volunteers.

The Medical Reserve Corps is a national volunteer program established after 9/11 by the U.S. Surgeon General. The MRC is dedicated to the pre-identification, advance preparation, and credentialing of local health professionals. The MRC helps respond in large-scale medical or public health emergencies such as natural disasters, disease pandemics, or acts of terrorism.

MRC volunteers are welcome to attend trainings at DOH-Marion covering topics such as CPR, life-saving skills to control severe bleeding in emergencies, and Special Needs Shelter operations.

DOH-Marion manages the Medical Reserve Corps. Medical and non-medical volunteers are trained and ready to respond. Volunteers serve alongside public health and emergency services professionals. They support Special Needs Shelters, help in mass-dispensing of medication and immunizations, aid in disease outbreak investigations, and help in many other ways.
