The mission of the Capitol City Pharmacy MRC is to engage volunteers to strengthen public health, emergency response, and community resiliency.

The Capitol City Pharmacy Medical Reserve Corps (CCPMRC) is a group of local pharmacy volunteers in Washington, DC, focused on improving the health and safety of their community. We are the first nationally-recognized pharmacy-specialized MRC. CCPMRC is a collaboration between the Howard University College of Pharmacy and the DC Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Administration. This MRC h

as been uniquely established in October 2013 to recruit and train volunteers to provide pharmacy-related functions during an emergency situation, and has been established as the first nationally-recognized pharmacy-specialized since 2015. Pharmacy related functions include but are not limited to mass vaccinations, staffing medical point-of-dispensing stations and provision of emergency supply of chronic medications.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Desha Holden-Nelson for taking the time to speak with our students during Black Maternal Health Week.

Her presentation was both powerful and eye-opening—highlighting that nearly 80% of Black maternal deaths are preventable and bringing awareness to the higher rates of cardiovascular complications experienced by Black women before and after pregnancy as well as emergency preparedness measures mothers can take to protect themselves and their little ones.

We especially appreciated the call to action to stay informed by understanding the data within our own communities, empowering us to become stronger advocates where it matters most.

Your dedication to advancing maternal health equity and uplifting Black women through education and advocacy is truly inspiring. The knowledge shared was invaluable.

Thank you again for pouring into our students—we look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

It was a pleasure connecting with students and sharing tips on emergency preparedness, healthy eating, and more. The students had to memorize their tip and later return to recite it back to us for prizes. Check out the second slide to see the excitement.
