The mission of the Eastern Nebraska/Western Iowa Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) is to improve the safety and health of residents of Douglas, Sarpy, Dodge, Washington, and Saunders counties in Nebraska, and Pottawattamie and Harrison counties in Iowa. This will be accomplished by providing a framework for local volunteers who have medical, public health and other essential emergency response skills to contribute their expertise and time both in emergency events and non-emergency functions and initiatives throughout the year.
