What We Do
WE HELP REDEFINE THE STANDARDS FOR PRE-HOSPITAL EMERGENCY CARE
The Medic One Foundation is a vital link in our region’s Medic One system, helping to ensure and advance a level of pre-hospital emergency care that is second to none. Funded solely through charitable contributions, our programs are a major reason why Seattle and King County firefighters and paramedics consistently achieve patient survival rates for sudden cardiac arrest that are nearly double the national average.
