Berkshire Medical Reserve Corps

The Berkshire MRC is committed to serving all of Berkshire County’s 32 communities, 16 Emergency Dispensing Sites, and three hospitals in the event of a Public Health emergency.

To achieve this goal, MRC volunteers are organized into teams by community, by EDS (each town has at least one or is partnering with neighboring towns to share one), and by local hospital. A MRC Team Leader from each town identifies potential MRC volunteers; BCBOHA then registers, credentials, and trains these people to respond to emergencies and function as part of their local emergency preparedness teams. The Berkshire MRC supplements existing emergency and public health resources and agencies such as Red Cross, fire, police, boards of health, and ambulance services.
