The Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) is a national network of volunteers, organized locally to improve the health and safety of their communities. The MRC network comprises 991 community-based units and almost 200,000 volunteers. MRC units are present in all 50 U.S. states, Washington, D.C., Guam, Palau, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. In the state of Florida, there are currently 33 MRC units operating with more than 5,500 members.
The Florida Keys Medical Reserve Corps consists of both medical and non-medical volunteers. In the past, members have assisted with a variety of local responses, including staffing our Special Needs Shelter during hurricanes and providing dental screenings and sealants in the Monroe County Schools. Activities throughout the year can include participating in vaccination clinics, school screenings, response training, or county-wide disaster exercises. Volunteers meet quarterly for meeting/training sessions.
New volunteers are welcome throughout the year. For more information, please contact:
