How to volunteer with the Williamson County Medical Reserve Corps (WilcoMRC)
Medical Reserve Corps, or MRC, is a national network of local groups of volunteers committed to improving the health, safety and resiliency of their communities.  The Medical Reserve Corps serves under the office of the United States Surgeon General.  The organization was unveiled during President Bush’s 2002 State of the Union Address, in which he asked all Americans to volunteer in support of their country. The primary role of the local MRC unit is to supplement the existing community emergency response system. 

The Williamson County Medical Reserve Corps (WilcoMRC) is a team of trained medical, public health and other volunteers which is headquartered within the Williamson County and Cities Health District (WCCHD).  The mission of the Williamson County MRC is to help protect and promote the health and safety of the people of Williamson County during times of public health emergencies.  The WilcoMRC will recruit, train, build and sustain a team of medical, public health and other volunteers.  In order to be prepared for public health emergency response, the WilcoMRC will be involved in community preparedness activities and training during periods of non-emergency.

By volunteering to serve with the WilcoMRC, area residents can help support Williamson County and Cities Health District (WCCHD) by becoming part of a team of trained volunteers who prepare for and respond to public health emergencies.  In times of non-emergency, WilcoMRC volunteers can help with other efforts to promote the importance of good health, nutrition and safety.
