Did you know that falls are the leading cause of injury-related hospital visits for seniors? The good news is most can be prevented. This National Fall Prevention Week, we’re proud to introduce the Medic Keep the Beat Foundation, a nonprofit initiative of Medic Ambulance Service dedicated to safer homes and stronger communities.

The Foundation offers two key programs:
Fall Prevention Program – in-home safety assessments, practical tips, and resources to help seniors stay safe and independent. Recently recognized with the Community Impact Program Award at the 2025 CAASE Awards.

AED Donation & Training Program – lifesaving equipment and education to ensure communities are prepared to respond in emergencies.

Because peace of mind and safer homes aren’t just possible—they’re within reach.
