Henrico MRC

Surgeon General's Four Main Priorities

In addition to the HMRC mission and goals, we will work to align the Henrico MRC operations and planning with the Surgeon General's four main priorities for the Medical Reserve Corps.

1. Promote disease Prevention
   This may be accomplished through HMRC volunteer work as part of the Henrico County Health Department’s Infant Mortality project, with special focus on becoming instructors or facilitators of the Community Voice outreach program.
2. Increase health literacy
   This may be accomplished by recruiting and utilizing bilingual MRC volunteers that can provide interpreter services before, during, and after disasters and public health related events.
3. Improve public health preparedness
   This may be accomplished by teaching CPR, First Aid, and emergency preparedness basics to MRC volunteers and non-MRC community groups, as well as by utilizing MRC volunteer CPR and First Aid instructors to teach throughout Henrico County.
4. Eliminate health disparities
   This may be accomplished by providing health education to Henrico residents, such as providing information about the text4baby program, and facilitating health fairs or other events run and staffed by Henrico MRC personnel.
