2015 NACCHO Network Profile of the MRC

The National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) 2015 Network Profile of the Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) has been released and is available online. This report offers a snapshot of the MRC program nationwide. In support of public health and emergency response services, the MRC network covers 91% of the U.S. population. Some MRC unit statistics to note include the following: 
  • 67% are housed within a local health department
  • 93% offer in-person CPR/first aid/automated external defibrillator (AED) training
  • 19% participated in emergency response last year; responding to natural disasters, infectious disease outbreaks, hazardous materials spills, foodborne illness, and others
  • 82% verify medical credentials of their medical volunteers through the ESAR-VHP system (i.e., MI Volunteer Registry)
 
Michigan MRC program information may be found online at www.MedicalReserveCorps.gov or by contacting Virginia Zimmerman, MRC State Coordinator, at zimmermanv@michigan.gov.
