What do nurses, retirees, students, technology professionals & others all have in common?
They’re the type of people you’ll encounter volunteering with the Rocky Mountain Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) of Colorado.
Don’t let the name fool you, our MRC includes people with no more med training than the ability to give a hug or apply pressure to a wound. Our volunteers come from every walk of life and every skill set.
You do NOT have to be in a medical profession
We have Mission Ready Packages (MRPs) which are teams created to do specific things for our response agencies. Check out the Mission Ready Package page for additional information on our teams and how you will serve as a volunteer.
