Piedmont Medic One Foundation

Who We Are

Helping redefine the standards of pre-hospital emergency care.

The Piedmont Medic One Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to saving lives by improving pre-hospital emergency care in the Piedmont region of Northern Virginia. Our vision is that no one dies from a treatable medical emergency. Within those boundaries, the organization develops and supports the following programs: 1/ world-class paramedic training, 2/ innovative research and special projects, 3/ grants to EMS agencies to provide lifesaving tools and equipment, 4/ Community CPR/AED & First Aid training for the general population, and 5/ an EMT scholarship program to promote careers in the EMS field. Why does this matter?

Why It Matters 

“When you have six minutes to live or die, training, research, and medical oversight count.”

Emergency Medical Services, or EMS, rely on individual county and/or town limited budgets and subsequent property taxes to fund operating costs, including vehicles, paramedic salaries, equipment, and supplies. Unlike EMS services, the Piedmont Medic One Foundation receives no government or tax-based support. We are supported solely by charitable contributions.

In essence, the rural Virginia counties and towns we serve provide the wherewithal to put the paramedics on the street, but the Foundation provides the extra financial support necessary to train paramedics to the highest level possible and research new methods of patient care that make our EMS systems superior programs.
