Join the Medical Reserve Corps in Monmouth County!

The Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) is a vital national network of local volunteer units dedicated to enhancing public health and community resilience. With over 300,000 volunteers across roughly 800 units throughout the U.S. and its territories, the MRC brings together medical professionals and community members to prepare for and respond to emergencies effectively.

Established in the wake of the September 11 attacks, the MRC was created to organize and activate volunteers for community health needs during disasters. As a volunteer, you’ll engage in training and exercises designed to develop your skills, with opportunities to earn continuing education credits.

In Monmouth County, MRC volunteers play a crucial role in improving public health by:

 

  • Conducting emergency preparedness training 
  • Providing medical care and shelter operations
  • Supporting disaster response and mass dispensing efforts
  • Leading community education and outreach initiatives
  • Assisting with logistics and administrative support

 

Your specific role will be tailored to your skills and the needs of the community. Volunteers receive comprehensive training to ensure they are ready for any public health emergency. Topics include BLS CPR, Stop the Bleed, Narcan administration, Autism Awareness, Alzheimer’s Disease, Brain Injury, Weather Spotting, and the latest in Medical Devices, among others.

The Monmouth County Health Department is currently seeking additional volunteers for our response team. We need individuals with diverse backgrounds, including nurses, physicians, physician assistants, and translators. General volunteers for support services are also welcome.

To volunteer, you must be at least 18 years old, reside or work in Monmouth County, and be a U.S. citizen.
