NEMO Medical Reserve Corps Charity Profile

The Northeast Missouri Medical Reserve Corps is a volunteer group that can supplement existing community emergency medical resources, as well as contribute to meeting the public health needs of the community.

The Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) program was created after the 9/11 disasters to allow citizens to volunteer to serve their country and their communities. The Northeast Missouri Medical Reserve Corps is proud to join Columbia and Kansas City as one of three pilot programs in the state, and we are excited to welcome Jefferson City on board this year. We are currently grant-funded, although many communities have developed MRC’s at their own expense to fulfill the needs of their communities. The MRC has been created to “fill in the gaps” and assist wherever there is a need; this makes each unit unique to its own community.
