Kittitas County Medical Reserve Corps (MRC)

Nationwide, the Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) is a community-based, civilian volunteer program that helps build public health response capacity within the community. The MRC was formed after the September 11, 2001 attacks as a way for citizen volunteers to aid after a crisis. The MRC is a network of over two hundred thousand volunteers throughout the United States. The local Kittitas MRC was formed in 2014 and may assist the Kittitas County Public Health Department and the community in various activities from school vaccinations to our annual influenza drive-thru clinic.
