The Kane County Medical Reserve Corps (KCMRC) was established in 2005 to support the mission, vision, and values of the Kane County Health Department. The KCMRC improves the well-being and safety of all residents by organizing and utilizing public health, medical, and other volunteers.

Over the years, KCMRC has supported emergency and non-emergency activities throughout Kane County. It has responded to biological threats like the COVID-19 pandemic by vaccinating residents, natural threats like the February 2024 tornadoes by conducting damage assessments, and helps build community resilience by educating residents on prevention tools such as naloxone, CPR, first aid and Stop the Bleed.
