Medical Reserve Corps
The Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) Program coordinates the skills of practicing and retired physicians, nurses and other health professionals as well as other citizens interested in health issues, who are eager to volunteer to address their community's ongoing public health needs and to help their community during large-scale emergency situations.
Sponsored by the Office of the Surgeon General, MRC volunteers include medical and public health professionals such as physicians, nurses, pharmacists, dentists, veterinarians, and epidemiologists. Many community members—interpreters, chaplains, office workers, legal advisors, and others—can fill key support positions. MRC volunteers may also serve a vital role by assisting their communities with ongoing public health needs (e.g., immunizations, screenings, health and nutrition education, and volunteering in community health centers and local hospitals).
As a community organization, we work side by side with other organizations through Sammamish Citizen Corps as well with other Medical Reserve Corps in the region and with other agencies including the American Red Cross.
SMRC meets on the fourth Wednesday of each month at 6:30pm at Eastside Fire & Rescue Station #82 1851 228th Ave NE, Sammamish WA 98074 (map) Come learn more and get involved!
