EMS Foundation
The Emergency Medical Services Foundation (EMSF) is a registered charity, separate from Calgary Emergency Medical Services (EMS). Funds raised by the Foundation through the generosity of our donors do not replace EMS’s core funding, but rather enhance safety and illness prevention and advance paramedical research, practice and training. Specifically, funds raised through the Foundation support education, injury prevention, research and equipment.
