Ongoing Events
- Scenario Trainings - We will soon begin establishing a once a month street medic scenario trainings. The goal of these will be to keep ourselves and our skills and reflexes sharp. If you have some medical training, or would just like to come out to be a patient, everybody is welcome to these events. They usually take place over the course of an afternoon out in a sunny park or somewhere dry if needby with food and drinks provided. If you are interested, we will let people know over our announcements list serv, so feel free to contact us if you would like to be added to this list.

Community Outreach
- Nickelsville/Tent City Medical Trainings/Outreach – In the future we would like to begin working closer with communities we feel are most adversely affected by the current and ongoing healthcare crisis. Nickelsville, and members of the tent cities currently in and surrounding the Seattle area are on the top of the list of groups that we would like to work with to empower our communities on the basis of self sustainability, self care, and social justice.
