Lifeguard Rural EMS Grant

Story

UnityPoint Health LifeGuard Air Ambulance has been serving the Cedar Rapids and surrounding community since 1979. For over four decades it has been LifeGuard’s mission to provide the best care to each and every one of our patients. It is our honor to provide critical care transport for 911 calls throughout our community as well as interfacility transports throughout Eastern Iowa. We believe that everyone deserves the care that we would want our loved ones to receive. 

LifeGuard has joined forces with CAUSETEAM to raise money for both LifeGuard and St. Luke’s Foundation to support the Foundation’s Rural Health Care Grant Program. This grant, founded by the St. Luke’s Foundation creates an avenue for local EMS, Police and Fire departments to seek out additional funding for continuing education and the purchase of advanced equipment. 

As many of you know, this year marks the 20th anniversary of the September 11th attack on our country. On that very dark day, our Nation lost 343 firefighters, 60 police officers, and 8 EMS providers. As a tribute to those who lost their lives protecting the citizens of New York, we want to help support to our local EMS agencies by raising money to help equip our community responders with the tools they need to protect their communities here in Eastern Iowa. 

 

Please help us “Remember the Fallen” and support our local emergency responders.   

Note: Money raised through CAUSETEAM will be split equally between LifeGuard and Rural EMS Grant.
