FRAMINGHAM, MA — The Framingham Medical Reserve Corps unit needs new volunteers, especially nurses, and doctors.
Created after Sept 11, 2001, the Medical Reserve Corps is a federally-recognized and state-supported “community-based group of volunteers who assist local public health departments to promote healthy living as well as to prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergency events.”
Massachusetts currently has 12 units across the Commonwealth.
Here in Framingham, the Medical Reserve Corps can be seen assisting at vaccine clinics and providing a first-aid tent at events like the Framingham Farmers’ Market and the 2023 Farm Pond fireworks.
