What is the Medical Reserve Corps?

Learn More Here

Wasco County MRC is part of a nationwide network of locally-based volunteer units that train and prepare community members to help with disaster response when emergency personnel are overwhelmed. MRC members can also volunteer in the community in non-disaster times, if they choose.

Who Can Join?

Wasco County MRC recruits:

  • Licensed health professionals (from all fields).

  • Retired health professionals (from all fields).

  • Unlicensed volunteers interested in aiding in disaster response & promoting preparedness.

Can Your Community Count On You?

  • Members will be trained and prepared to integrate with emergency responders during a disaster.

  • You will be a vital part of the health and safety of your community.

  • Deployment is always optional – participation in Wasco County MRC does not obligate anyone to volunteer in an emergency.

How Do I Sign Up?

Registration is easy!

  • Register on Veoci.com. Make sure you have your license information handy (if you have a medical license) and choose Wasco County MRC when prompted to “Add Organization”.
