The Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Foundation is a registered charity. We are separate from, but supportive of, the work of the uniformed Emergency Medical Services in Alberta.
Supporting the person behind the uniform.
A central focus and concern for the EMS Foundation is the mental health and resiliency of EMS first responders. A key project in this regard was the creation of Alberta's first permanent memorial to honor EMS Fallen Members, the Alberta Fallen Paramedic Memorial, unveiled on the Edmonton Legislature grounds in 2024.
