Medical and Non-Medical Volunteers needed for Preparedness and Response

Save to Favorites

You never know when your community might need you. It could be because of a natural disaster, a terrorist attack, or the outbreak of a communicable disease. In emergencies, Medical Reserve Corps volunteers provide the additional staffing needed to save lives by helping public health teams. Get affiliated and get trained ahead of a disaster.

In between disasters, volunteers are offered plenty of opportunities to remain engaged by working on teams in positions from entry level to leadership in areas such as helping reduce chronic disease, assuring accessibility to health care, and improving health literacy. As a volunteer, you will receive the training necessary to be confident and competent serving alongside of peers in the field.

The Medical Reserve Corps is guided by the priorities of the Office of the Surgeon General and reports to the Virginia Dept. of Health - Peninsula and Hampton Health Districts, covering the areas of Williamsburg, James City Country, York County, Poquoson, Newport News, and Hampton.

Thank you for considering joining an organization of dedicated volunteers committed to improving the health, safety, and resiliency of our communities!
