Resuscitation Foundation
Our Non-Profit Organization
The Why
We are deeply passionate about emergency medical response, particularly resuscitation. Since day one, our mission has been to care for the sickest of the sick—an endeavor that drives everything we do. Our passion extends beyond academic interest; it is fueled by the profound impact we can make. We are fortunate to work in environments where cutting-edge tools, technologies, and expertise are readily accessible. Yet, we recognize that not everyone has this privilege.
Over the years, we’ve connected with healthcare providers from around the globe and have come to a unanimous conclusion: many of them are true heroes. These individuals work tirelessly in war-torn regions and low-resource settings, often facing heartbreaking limitations in their ability to treat all those in need. While we acknowledge that healthcare varies widely across the world, our goal is to help narrow this gap as much as possible. To that end, we have established an organization dedicated to bridging disparities in resuscitative care.
The What
In the short term, we leverage the software and tools developed by PARATUS Medical and, through our partnership, distribute them to regions and humanitarian missions where they are most needed. In the longer term, we aim to build programs that foster knowledge-sharing and collaboration, ultimately improving resuscitative care worldwide.
We are honored to have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on clinicians working in the most challenging circumstances—and on the lives of the patients they serve.
