Volunteers Building Strong, Healthy & Prepared Communities
Spotlight
Medical Reserve Corps
(MRC) is working to improve the health and
safety of communities in Wisconsin and across the country. Volunteers donate their time and expertise to prepare for and respond
to emergencies and promote healthy living throughout the year. MRC
organizes and utilizes 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. Overview
