Our mission is to save lives by improving pre-hospital emergency care.

About us

We are the Medic One Foundation. In 1969, Dr. Leonard Cobb and Seattle Fire Chief Gordon Vickery initiated a program to test two questions. Is it possible to save the lives of critically ill patients outside of a hospital? And can we train non-physicians to provide advanced care under the remote direction of a physician? Within two years, they showed that the answer to both questions was “yes,” and Medic One became a permanent community service. For 50 years, the Medic One Foundation has provided the primary support for the research and paramedic training behind the Medic One response system. In that time, Medic One’s reputation for innovation and excellence in pre-hospital emergency care has grown worldwide, and thousands of survivors in the Puget Sound area have become living proof of a remarkable, focused vision.

  • The Heart of the Holidays: A Time to Pause and Protect Your Health ❤️ The last two weeks of the year see a concerning spike in heart-related incidents. Stress, overindulgence, cold weather, and delayed medical care all play a role, often turning moments of celebration into moments of crisis. At Medic One Foundation, we know how seconds can make the difference between life and loss. But prevention matters, too. Listen to your body, manage stress, and seek care if something feels wrong—don’t wait. Let’s protect our hearts and health this season so we can be here for the moments that matter most. #HeartHealth #MedicOneFoundation

  • Stay Alert: Traffic Incidents Surge During Late December 🚙 The final two weeks of the year often see a rise in traffic accidents, turning festive moments into periods of tragedy. Increased holiday travel, celebrations involving alcohol, and dangerous winter road conditions all play a role. At Medic One Foundation, we see firsthand the impact of these collisions on individuals and families. Planning ahead, staying focused, and adjusting your driving to road conditions can make all the difference. If you’re celebrating, arrange for safe transportation, avoid distractions, and drive responsibly. Let’s make this holiday season one to remember for all the right reasons.
