| Profile: |
The mission of the Upper Valley Medical Reserve Corps is to serve as a medical personnel resource for the Upper Valley. The Upper Valley Medical Reserve Corps will support and assist local governments and area healthcare systems with emergency medical operations and vital public and community health activities.
The Upper Valley spans across New Hampshire and Vermont. In the near future we would like to create a cross border partnership between the two states for the Upper Valley. The Upper Valley MRC is in its initial stages of development and are currently working on creating their standard operating procedures and volunteer handbook. The Upper Valley MRC is partnering with key community partners in New Hampshire and Vermont.
