Who We Are
Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) is a community-based volunteer program sponsored by the Snohomish County Health Department that strengthens and expands the local public health system's response during a health emergency or disaster.
The mission of the Snohomish County Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) is to allow local volunteer medical, and non-medical professionals to contribute their skills and expertise throughout the year as well as during times of community need. Our Medical Reserve Corps unit is made of volunteers who can assist our community during emergencies, such as natural disasters, unintentional or intentional manmade disasters.
The Snohomish County MRC was one of the first Washington state units, established in 2003. We are one of nearly 1,000 nationally recognized units and is part of Washington Region 1 which serves Tulalip Tribes and Snohomish, Skagit, Whatcom, San Juan and Island counties
What We Do
The Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) collaborates with the Snohomish County Health Department Immunizations Program to provide vaccination clinics during non-emergency times, ensuring the community has access to essential preventive health services. These clinics support the ongoing efforts to maintain public health and prevent the spread of infectious diseases.
During times of emergency or public health crises, the MRC plays a role in the public health response by assisting with vaccination efforts. This may include large-scale vaccination campaigns, emergency distribution of vaccines, and providing support in community outreach to ensure widespread immunization during critical times.
