Contra Costa Medical Reserve Corps - Contra Costa Emergency Medical Services

Contra Costa County Medical Reserve Corps As part of the County's emergency planning and response system, the Emergency Medical Services Agency with the Department of Health Services is in the process of developing of a community volunteer health service corps, known as the Medical Reserve Corps. This group would consist of trained health care professionals, such as nurses, physicians, pharmacists, paramedics and EMTs, dentists, veterinarians as well as mental health professionals, such as psychologists, social workers, family therapists, and psychiatric technicians. Many community members-interpreters, chaplains, office workers, legal advisors, and others-can fill key support positions.

Our intent is to recruit volunteers who would be available during a local disaster and are interested in serving as volunteers in our community during medical and health-related emergencies.

The primary mission of the Contra Costa County MRC would be to recruit and train health care professionals for staffing Alternate Care Sites, Field Treatment Sites, Mass Vaccination and Prophylactic Medication Dispensing Sites in the event of a medical or public health disaster. No volunteer will be assigned responsibilities beyond their skills and capability.
