Full Notification

The Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) is a national network of volunteers, organized locally to improve the health and safety of their communities.  The Passaic County MRC invites both health care professionals and community volunteers.  Any licensed or certified health care professional, practicing or retired, living or working in Passaic County can apply to be a member.  Community volunteers who are not health professionals are also encouraged to apply. 

MRC volunteers train - individually and with other members of the unit - in order to improve their skills, knowledge and abilities.  In most cases, training as an MRC volunteer focuses primarily on learning local emergency and health procedures, trauma response techniques, use of specialized equipment, and other methods to enhance volunteer effectiveness.

Volunteers may apply online and the information is kept electronically in a state designed database.  Log on to https://nj.gov/health/er/njmrc/ and complete the online application. Be sure to select the Passaic County Medical Reserve Corps unit.  If you do not have access to a computer, you can contact our MRC Coordinator. 

Also, New Jersey law provides that a volunteer acting in good faith, carrying out, complying with or attempting to comply with, any order, rule or regulation promulgated pursuant to a declared emergency, or performing any authorized service in connection therewith, shall not be liable for any injury or death to persons or damage to property as a result of any such activity.
