Community leaders created the Medic One Foundation in 1988 and its board of directors. The goal of the Medic One Foundation is to help save lives and improve the quality of emergency medical services in the Everett and Snohomish County communities, as well as enhancing the general public’s understanding of this critically important mission. Since then, the Foundation has focused on continuing education, quality assurance, public education and research. The foundation works with the Everett Fire Department and surrounding emergency services agencies.
