Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements cover the majority of our operating costs, but recent federal cuts to these programs have created serious financial headwinds. Each year we work to close the gap between what we receive and what it costs to operate — and that gap is filled by generous donors like you. It is not an exaggeration to say we could not continue without your support. When you dial 9-1-1, an ambulance comes. Your donation is what makes that possible. Fast, secure, and easy ## Donate online All major credit cards accepted. The donation form opens right here on this page.
