Strengthening the First Responder Community

It’s at the core of what we do. First Responders are faced with risk every day. It’s the nature of their job, responding to calls that require extreme physical exertion that often result in adverse physiological and psychological outcomes.

Understanding and responding to the causes and long-term consequences of on-the-job injuries is key to prevention. It was our founding purpose in 1999 and remains the heart of our work today.
