Medical Reserve Corps Activities and Impact by State or Territory 2024

Standing Strong, Serving Together

Across the country, Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) volunteers step forward every day with a single mission: to protect, support, and uplift their communities in times of need. This nationwide network of trained volunteers brings skill, heart, and resilience to public health and emergency response.

In 2024 alone, MRC volunteers dedicated over 300,000 hours of service, contributing an estimated $11.5 million in value. But the true impact of the MRC goes far beyond numbers. These are neighbors helping neighbors - providing vaccines, supporting emergency shelters, aiding during disasters, and filling critical gaps in local health systems. Their actions save lives, restore stability, and bring communities closer together.

The stories featured in these State Highlight Fact Sheets shine a light on the myriad and meaningful ways MRC units are making a difference in every corner of the country. From rural towns to urban centers, MRC volunteers show us what's possible when compassion meets commitment.

Find out what the Medical Reserve Corps has done for your state and in other communities across the country. As you explore each state's contributions, we invite you to see not only what the MRC has accomplished - but to imagine what we can achieve next, together.
