New River Valley Medical Reserve Corps

Welcome to the New River Valley Medical Reserve Corps!

The New River Valley Medical Reserve Corps is a cadre of volunteer health professionals and community members trained to respond and assist with public health emergencies and public health activities throughout the New River Health District.

The New River Valley Medical Reserve Corps recruits for practicing, retired or otherwise employed medical professionals, as well as community members with non-medical skills. Physicians, pharmacists, nurses, epidemiologists and paramedics are just a sampling of the medical community which is accepted for service. Clergy, translators, sign language interpreters, clerks, volunteer coordinators and all other members of our communities are also encouraged to consider becoming a part of the local unit.
