Medical Reserve Corps
 Volunteers Building Strong, Healthy, and Prepared Communities 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. 
MRC Lessons Learned and Experience Sharing is a way for MRC units to share their practices, examples, and success stories. It is designed to highlight the challenges and successes of MRC units' involvement with emergency preparedness, response, and public health activities; therefore, MRC units and their leaders can learn from one another. 
In 2006, the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) was awarded a cooperative agreement to assist the U.S. Surgeon General's Office of the Civilian Volunteer Medical Reserve Corps (OCVMRC) in enhancing MRC units' ability to meet local, state, and national needs through collaboration, coordination, and capacity-building activities.
