Medical Reserve Corps

Grays Harbor County Public Health & Social Services Department

Home > Medical Reserve Corps

We continually work to protect your health and safety during emergencies and disasters.

We do this by detecting and investigating disease outbreaks, and containing their spread; providing medicine to those in need; informing and educating the public on taking safe actions; and supporting other agencies as members of one response team.

Are you interested in responding to the current COVID-19 crisis? Visit our Grays Harbor Public Health Volunteer Opportunities page for more information and our volunteer form.  


The Grays Harbor Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) is a group of volunteers. They prepare for and respond to public health emergencies in our community.
