Mission Statement of the Fulton County Medical Reserve Corps:  

“To serve the citizens and communities of Fulton County by providing health care, education and assistance in times of need.”

Overview

The Medical Reserve Corps provides an opportunity for volunteers with medical skills, mental health skills, and a variety of other specialties to provide support during a public health emergency in Fulton County and the surrounding region. Licensure in the medical field is not a requirement to join the MRC.

Membership Requirements

The Fulton County MRC membership is open to anyone 18 years and older that is a legal U.S. resident. Members must apply and be approved through the Fulton County Health Department and Ohio Responds. Application for membership can be found here https://www.ohioresponds.odh.ohio.gov/.

Any MRC member that will provide some level of medical care is required to have been, or currently be licensed and/or certified and must work within the scope of their licensure.
