Founded in 2002, the Medical Reserve Corps trains and mobilizes medical and public health volunteers to support communities when it matters most. Gain skills, build connections, and make a real impact through disaster response and community health efforts nationwide.

Following the @BrownUniversity shooting, @RIMRC showed us what compassionate emergency response looks like. 30+ volunteers worked overnight providing behavioral health & incident support with expertise & heart. Thank you for your service and compassion.

On #RuralHealthDay, we honor the 467 MRC units serving rural or frontier communities. MRC volunteers strengthen public health, fill vital healthcare gaps, & support community resilience where it’s needed most. #MedicalReserveCorps #CommunityResilience
