Medical Reserve Corps
The Franklin County & Columbus Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) is a group of passionate volunteers, some with and some without medical backgrounds, interested in supporting and improving the health of their communities during a public health emergency. Our MRC is part of a nationwide initiative, and could include treatment of victims of a large-scale disaster or epidemic, administration of vaccines during a mass vaccination, distribution of drugs during a chemical or biological attack, or other health emergency situation.
Volunteers help save lives during disaster situations.
