Community Based Care
We design emergency preparedness and response around the people in the space, not just the risks on paper. Every plan and service is tailored to the community it serves.
Integrated Response
Medical care, mental health support, and de-escalation are built into our approach from the start, helping prevent unnecessary escalation and improving outcomes.
Preparedness with Purpose
From consulting and training to on-site event support, we focus on practical, realistic preparation that empowers people and reduces harm.
Our services are designed to work together, offering flexible support depending on the needs of your event, organization, or community.

Community Outreach and Support
Health Equity Advocacy
We distribute free medical and wellness supplies, show up at community events, and provide outreach rooted in harm reduction and mutual aid. This work is shaped by community research and focused on closing gaps in care, access, and health education.
EQUIP was born out of a deep desire to advance medical consulting, training, and emergency response by prioritizing inclusivity, diversity, and quality care. Recognizing that traditional emergency response and healthcare training often leave out crucial perspectives, particularly those of minority and underserved communities, EQUIP was created to fill these gaps.
The drive to establish EQUIP came from firsthand experiences in the EMS field, where we witnessed significant shortcomings in management, ethical practices, and adherence to EMS regulations. These experiences highlighted the urgent need for change and inspired us to create a platform where diverse voices are not only heard but are central to our comprehensive training and consulting services.
From the start, EQUIP has been dedicated to empowering individuals and organizations to respond effectively in emergencies while fostering unity and understanding. By addressing these critical gaps and focusing on inclusivity and quality care, we aim to improve health outcomes and emergency preparedness for everyone.
How we got here…
At EQUIP, our vision is to drive transformative change in safety and preparedness practices. We aspire to build a community where every person, regardless of their background, feels confident and ready to handle every day first aid as well as major medical emergencies. Our goals include creating impactful and inclusive environments—whether in communities, workplaces, or events—where accommodations, mental health awareness, and emergency response are seamlessly integrated.
To achieve these goals, we are committed to continually evolving our training programs by incorporating the latest medical knowledge and best practices. We prioritize accessibility and inclusivity, ensuring our resources and services cater to everyone. Feedback from our participants and communities is invaluable, guiding us in enhancing our offerings and addressing emerging needs.
Our dedication extends to deepening community engagement and building meaningful partnerships with public health organizations, event organizers, and businesses. By collaborating with marginalized and underserved groups, we aim to provide essential medical supplies, education, advocacy, and support. Through these partnerships, we strive to create environments that are safer, more inclusive, and well-prepared to handle any situation.
Join us in our mission to foster a culture of preparedness, empathy, and proactive care. By equipping individuals and organizations with the skills and resources they need, we are working towards a future where every space is welcoming, accommodating, and prepared. Together, let’s build a more connected, compassionate world where everyone is ready for any challenge.
