Updates on Massachusetts MRCs

News from around the state

There are currently over 40 MRC units in Massachusetts. These units apply the mission of the national program to address the specific needs of the region they support.

The oldest of these units was formed on Cape Cod in 2003. The largest unit is in Boston, which includes a large number of nursing and pharmacy students. Each MRC unit in the Bay State is learning from the others - as well as from the national network of MRCs - as it continue to grow and enhance its skills. The latest information is available from the statewide web site:
