What We Do
The mission of the Allen
County Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) is to complement existing
health care capabilities by collaborating with local response
partners to provide an organized system of trained volunteers
who would be activated in times of community need.
The MRC is activated by the Allen
County Public Health Disaster Response Team and the MRC Executive Council when
local healthcare systems become overwhelmed from natural and man-made disasters.
MRC volunteers always work within and are supervised by local healthcare service
organizations such as the Fort Wayne-Allen County Department of Health, Parkview
Health, or Lutheran Health Network.
