    The Victims of The Terrorist Attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 posted at htekidsnews.com

    Like many Americans after the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, retired physician and researcher Robert Dean Stebbins, MD, wanted to assist in some way. To harness the disorganized wave of medical personnel seeking to volunteer following the crisis, the United States federal government created the Medical Reserve Corps (MRC), a system that joins skilled health care professionals such as Dr. Stebbins to serve as an emergency team locally, regionally, or nationally.

    To strengthen emergency response and public health, MRC formed community-based units to supplement existing resources. The teams may consist of physicians, dentists, nurses, epidemiologists, veterinarians, pharmacists, and other health care specialists, with additional community members, including legal advisors, chaplains, administrative personnel, and interpreters, assisting them. In non-emergency periods, MRC endeavors to increase disease prevention by improving health literacy and also to reduce health disparities.

    More recently, MRC members volunteered in the Southeast United States following several devastating hurricanes. Among other responsibilities, they staffed shelters, assisted at health clinics, provided physical assessments, and supported other disaster relief operations. Members have provided first aid to individuals injured in storms or other disasters and assisted The American National Red Cross and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

    Headquartered in Washington, D.C., in the Office of the U.S. Surgeon General, MRC also acts as a clearinghouse for information on implementing and maintaining cohesive teams across the country. Each year, the MRC Program Office holds an annual leadership conference. The organization also hosts a website, www.medicalreservecorps.gov, and coordinates efforts with national, regional, state, and local entities to support emergency preparedness and improved public health.
