I am already a member of my local Medical Reserve Corps. How does that work with MA Responds?
This system is partnership of local MRCs, MSAR, and other volunteer organizations, coordinated administratively by DPH. Under MA Responds, MRC units retain full control of their volunteers, and you would continue to work directly with your local unit. MRC volunteers in the system will not be contacted or activated directly by MA Responds or the MA Department of Public Health without the permission of the local coordinator.
