Medical Reserve Corps

If a bioterrorism event or epidemic requires it, the Loudoun County Health Department is preparing for the possibility of opening emergency mass vaccination and medication dispensing clinics in select locations throughout the county. Medical Reserve Corps volunteers, both non-medical and medical, would be key to staffing these sites. Non-medical volunteers would perform key clinic roles such as registration, data entry, language translation, directing foot traffic, and medical personnel assistance. Corps members can also assist in other public health responses in our community and have the opportunity to be trained in CPR and First Aid if they so desire.

Who should consider volunteering for the Medical Reserve Corps?

Anyone who wants to help the Health Department keep Loudoun County residents safe from an outbreak of disease, either naturally occurring or due to a terrorist attack and who:

1. Is willing to serve during an emergency and has no professional or personal commitment that may prevent them from doing so.
2. Is willing to complete an orientation session, either online or in person.
3. Is willing to undergo a reference or background check.
4. Is a Loudoun County resident at least 16 years of age.

If you decide to become part of our Medical Reserve Corps you will:

1. Receive an orientation by the Health Department.
2. Be offered free training on such topics as CPR, First Aid, and emergency preparedness.
3. Play a significant role in keeping your family and community safe.
