May Educational Opportunity

The Marrowstone Island Foundation is offering CPR/AED/First Aid instruction in May, 2026. The classes are open to all and free to attend. The only exception is if you want a Certification of Completion from the Red Cross, good for two years, a $40 fee is assessed. The class is accredited by the American Red Cross and held at the Garden Club building on Marrowstone Island. 

May class dates and times are: 
Thursday, May 21, 5:00 pm

If interested please reach out to the instructor, John Gonnella, Red Cross Instructor, (text or phone call) at 307-413-5010 and he will get you on the list. 

Even if you’ve taken a class before, it’s good to refresh your CPR skills periodically. Let’s help our island community become better prepared in the event of a medical emergency.

Our Story

Celebrating over two decades of supporting island health, safety, and community projects.


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.
