Looking to volunteer in your community? The City of Bethlehem Medical Reserve Corps is dedicated to organizing and preparing a medically related volunteer base that will serve to assist with emergency services, public health practice, and community outreach and education. It is through this mission that the City of Bethlehem MRC will assist and collaborate with existing community and public health agencies to effectively use our vital community and medical resources in response to a major natural or manmade disaster. Bethlehem MRC volunteers promoting preparedness at the 2013 Northampton County Special Olympics WHAT IS THE MRC? The Medical Reserve Corps is part of the Office of the Surgeon General. MRC units are community-based and are comprised of medical and non-medical volunteers who wish to donate their time, expertise, and energy to promote public health initiatives and to prepare for and respond to emergencies or disasters. Medical Reserve Corps volunteers supplement existing local emergency and public health resources. The City of Bethlehem Medical Reserve Corps was established in 2006 in response to President Bush’s 2002 State of the Union Address, in which he asked all Americans to volunteer in support of their country. The Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) provides the structure necessary to deploy medical and nonmedical personnel in response to an emergency, as it identifies specific trained and credentialed personnel available and ready to respond to emergencies. City of Bethlehem MRC volunteers are able to support local response organizations and are trained in advance to assist with disaster or emergency response. Bethlehem MRC volunteers also have the opportunity to participate in public health promotion activities and community events through collaboration with the Bethlehem Health Bureau. Want to learn more about the Bethlehem MRC and its activities? Check out some of our unit newsletters! WHO CAN VOLUNTEER? MRC volunteers include medical and public health professionals, such as nurses, physicians, pharmacists, dentists, veterinarians, and public health workers.
