Capital Region MRC Recruiting

Besides those local citizens who have medical, health care or other professional certifications and training, we are looking for volunteers who are willing to participate in some training that we will make available and who can be available to assist in the event of a local or regional emergency. So, don't be shy - let us know of your interest and we'll discuss the MRC with you in more detail before you make the decision. Contact us

NEEDED: Amateur Radio or HAM operators to assist with emergency communication needs. If interested in volunteering, please contact Mary Reed.

Uniting Communities - Preparing the Nation

In his 2002 State of the Union Message, President George W. Bush called on all Americans to make a lifetime commitment of at least 4,000 hours—the equivalent of two years of their lives—to serve their communities, the nation and the world. President Bush announced the creation of USA Freedom Corps to help Americans answer his call to service and to foster a culture of service, citizenship and responsibility.

Sponsored by the Office of the Surgeon General, the Medical Reserve Corps coordinates its efforts with several groups and has multiple affiliates. The MRC is a specialized component of Citizen Corps, a national network of volunteers dedicated to ensuring hometown security. Citizen Corps, along with AmeriCorps, Senior Corps, and the Peace Corps are part of the President's USA Freedom Corps, which promotes volunteerism and service throughout the nation.

The Capital Region MRC is sponsored by the Capital Area Public Health Network (CAPHN), with the support of Concord Hospital, and shares the common goal of helping our community partners prevent, prepare for and respond to disasters, pressing public health needs and emergencies of all kinds.

Volunteers are key to making our community a safer place to live. We look forward to working with you in this important community effort.
