Watch the video below to get an overview about the Medical Reserve Corps, and what we do as volunteers as a part of the Hendricks Country MRC.

What do volunteers do?

The Hendricks County Medical Reserve Corps (HCMRC) provides an organized system for volunteering during large-scale emergencies such as pandemics, natural disasters, or acts of terrorism. Volunteers also work to improve the overall health and well-being of their communities by engaging in public health initiatives and community service throughout the year.

What is the time commitment?

The success of the HCMRC is based on the ability of volunteers to respond in a timely manner when needed. Before applying, we ask that each potential volunteer consider their family responsibilities, work commitments, and other possible limitations. We have regular meetings, training throughout the year, and community events.
