Oahu Medical Reserve Corps (MRC)

Mission Statement:

The mission of the Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) is to build and support teams of local volunteers who contribute their skills and expertise for medial and public health services throughout the year and during times of community need.

Founded by President George W. Bush in the wake of the Sept. 11th terrorist attacks, the Medical Reserve Corps has more than 200,000 medical, public health and other volunteers nationally. In Hawaii there are more than 750 men and women who volunteer with one of four units on Maui, Kauai, the Big Island and O’ahu.

The Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) is a community-based, civilian, volunteer program that helps build the public health infrastructure of communities nationwide. Each MRC unit is organized and trained to address a wide range of challenges from public health education to disaster response.
