NACCHO has released the 2017 Network Profile of the Medical Reserve Corps report, a comprehensive look at the Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) network— highlighting challenges, innovative solutions, successes, and evolving capabilities. As the MRC celebrates its 15-year anniversary, NACCHO launched the third national survey in spring 2017 to investigate the networks capabilities and impact.
With more than 769 units participating, and a response rate of 82%, research revealed the network continues to contribute to the nation’s health and safety through a commitment to local public health, emergency preparedness, and response efforts. It also includes outside perspectives on the network from local health department emergency preparedness coordinators, and demonstrates the capabilities of the MRC from the local to the national level.
