To raise funds to support the purchase of Emergency Medical Services equipment and to provide funding for public education activities.

https://www.facebook.com/1362550399/posts/10217913061042475/ The Regional EMS Foundation has been involved with raising funds to place AEDs (automated external defibrillators) in public areas across Northern Alberta since it's inception in 2000. With help from the Waldron family, who lost their 19 year old son due to cardiac arrest, the Regional EMS Foundation was born as a means to raise funds to support the placement of these life saving devices. Since then, the Regional EMS Foundation has supported medical co-response groups, volunteer fire departments, the EMS Cadets, High School First Responder Program, Candy Cane Check Stop, Safety City Kiosk, Medi Magnet, along with many other awareness and education initiatives. The Star of LIFE Bursary is also operated through the Regional EMS Foundation. This bursary is disbursed in July of each year, and has helped many people start their career in Emergency Response. Most recently, the Regional EMS Foundation has taken on a large fundraising project called the Human Patient Simulation Training Unit, which is essentially an ambulance body on the back of a large truck chassis. This mobile unit will travel across the North Zone, providing real life like training and education to our EMS practitioners, and their allied agencies. This training unit allows practitioners of small town or rural areas to stay in their community and still receive the high quality training that practitioners receive in larger centers. This project is complete and education of emergency providers is taking place across our region. Our Mission: Partnering with front line first response organizations to provide exemplary care to our families.

A great conversation and a very generous donation today! ❤️

I was able to catch up with Belinda Sieker from the Talk To Me Society, who presented the Regional EMS Foundation with a $5,000 donation.

We had a great conversation about their funding priorities and the important work they are doing to support mental wellness initiatives across the Alberta North Zone.

Mental health and wellness supports are incredibly important, especially for those who spend their days responding to the needs of others. I’m grateful for organizations like the Talk to Me Society that recognize the importance of supporting the people who care for our communities.

Thank you, Belinda, and the Talk to Me Society, for your generosity and for the work you continue to do in our region. We’re so grateful to have you as a supporter of the Regional EMS Foundation! 💙

❤️ Another AED for our community!

REMS Foundation is proud to partner with Project Brock Society to provide an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) for the new Grande Prairie Christian School building.

Having an AED readily available in a school can make a critical difference when every second matters. This donation helps ensure that students, staff, families and visitors have access to life-saving equipment when they need it most.

We are incredibly grateful to Project Brock for partnering with us to help make this possible. Together, we’re continuing to build a safer, more prepared community.

Because when it comes to cardiac emergencies, every second counts. ❤️
