Mission Statement

Mission : The mission of the Norfolk Medical Reserve Corps (NMRC) is to organize and train local medical, health and community volunteers to support and/or supplement existing medical emergency and public health response efforts in the City of Norfolk. Vision: The heart of the Norfolk Medical Reserve Corps is our vision to be actively involved in creating and maintaining a healthy community through volunteer energy, initiative, expertise and leadership.

Description

The purpose of the NMRC is to strengthen communities by establishing a system for medical and health volunteers to offer their expertise throughout the year, as well as during times of community need. In an emergency, volunteers with a wide variety of skills are needed to assist with the public health response.

The objectives of the NMRC are to:

• Establish the necessary organizational, operational and administrative procedures for effective operation;
• Identify and outline professional specialties, qualifications and training needs for membership;
• Increase the capacity of the community to respond during emergencies by activating the MRC.
