Medical Reserve Corps...

Steps to Membership

Register: Save a copy of the registration form and survey, fill it out, and return to MRC Coordinator via [email protected] or posted mail: Trumbull County Health Department, c/o MRC Coordinator, 176 Chestnut Ave. NE, Warren, Ohio 44483
Interview: To schedule an interview, call the MRC Coordinator, Lucinda Sentner, at 330-675-7818 between the hours of 8:30 AM and 4:40 PM. At the interview, your registration and survey will be reviewed and a skills and interest page will be added. You will be given information to complete a background check before you are officially named a Medical Reserve Corps Volunteer.
Background Check: You will not be able to serve the public as a volunteer without passing a background check. You will be given forms for this at the Interview.
Orientation: This will include an overview of what MRC volunteers do, the Volunteer Reception Center (VRC), and your information will be entered into the Ohio Responds Data Base System. This is a State Volunteer Management System used to track contact information, skill sets, and completed training. It also serves as an alerting system when volunteers are needed.
Training: The state guidelines require 4 hours of training every three years in order to remain in the Ohio Responds Data Base and be able to access Liability coverage during emergencies, drills, or trainings. A training manual is given to the volunteer upon completion of the first four steps.
