The Virginia Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) brings together dedicated volunteers who support their communities during public health emergencies. Each of Virginia’s 25 local MRC units includes medical and public health professionals, along with non‑medical community members, who contribute their skills, experience, and time to strengthen public health initiatives and emergency response efforts across the state.

 

The West Piedmont Health District Office of Emergency Preparedness consists of the Local Health Emergency Coordinator and District Epidemiologist.
