About Marrowstone Island Foundation
Our Goals
- Advocate for high quality fire and emergency medical response to island residents and guests.
- Enhance community emergency preparedness and responsiveness to natural or man-made disasters.
Who We Are
The Marrowstone Island Foundation (MIF) is a nonprofit, charitable organization formed in 2000 as a legacy of the Marrowstone Emergency Medical Service (MEMS). MEMS had a storied history as a pioneering private ambulance and emergency response service.
In 2000, MEMS transferred its mission and station on Flagler Road to East Jefferson Fire & Rescue.
Money raised by MEMS was used to endow and establish the Marrowstone Island Foundation. The Foundation continues in the tradition of the original island medical service by promoting community health and safety issues and by acting as a financial catalyst for community institutions through judicious stewardship of the Marrowstone Island Foundation endowment.
Accomplishments
- Funding the training of Emergency Medical Technicians for response on Marrowstone Island.
- Awarding of scholarship grants for island residents and graduating Chimacum high school seniors.
- Hosting CPR and AED training for Island residents and residents of other neighboring communities.
