The New Jersey Medical Reserve Corps Volunteer Portal
The New Jersey Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) is a network of community-based, locally organized units comprised of volunteers who help
ensure their communities are healthy, prepared, and resilient. MRC volunteers are pre-identified, pre-registered,
trained, and exercised. In addition to promoting healthy living throughout the year, MRC volunteers are especially vital
during emergencies and disasters when paid public health and emergency response assets are overwhelmed.
In New Jersey there are 24 MRC Units housed within local health departments.
Each county in New Jersey has at least one Medical Reserve Corps Unit.
MRC health professional volunteers include nurses, pharmacists, EMTs, doctors, counselors, social workers, and veterinarians.
MRC community health volunteers provide services such as language translation/interpretation, education and outreach, hospitality,
food services, reception, logistics, security, and assistance to individuals with disabilities, access and functional needs.
The New Jersey Department of Health provides online registration resources for all of NJ’s MRC units. If you are interested in volunteering, simply create a volunteer account and your information will be made available to the MRC unit coordinator of your choosing. Once admitted into the MRC program, volunteers can sign up for training and exercise opportunities as well as planned event deployments.
NJLMN account holders do not need to create an MRC account. Simply sign in with existing NJLMN credentials. |
