Medical Reserve Corps

What is the Mercer County Medical Reserve Corps (MRC)?

MRC is made up of local volunteers who assist in preparing for and responding to public health emergencies. As an MRC member, you may also be called upon to help during the year with routine events in our community (e.g. annual flu clinics, health fairs, disaster exercises, or public health outreach). Community members with or without medical training are encouraged to join!
