The Virginia Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) is a force of dedicated volunteers who stand ready to support the community in the event of a public health emergency. Each of the 31 local MRC units is comprised of teams of medical and public health professionals who, along with interested community members, volunteer their skills, expertise and time to support ongoing public health initiatives and assist during emergencies throughout Virginia.
National Volunteer Week, April 15-21, is about taking action and encouraging individuals and their respective communities to be at the center of social change – discovering and actively demonstrating their collective power to foster positive transformation.
We celebrate the dedication and willingness of the over 13,500 Virginia MRC volunteers who volunteer to protect and improve the health of Virginia. VA MRC Rocks!
Thank You for Volunteering!
