Gymflesh Corporation National EMS Assistance

"EMS personnel carry America everyday. Gymflesh® carries EMS personnel forever."

Gymflesh® developed its Sisyphus First Do No Harm Preparedness Relief Project™ as a free, no-cost-to-you, emergency financial aid option for financially-restrictive EMS service providers. Gymflesh® assumes all program and travel costs. Qualifying EMS facilities may request one of the two Making The Everyday Hero Athlete® EMS programs: The 1-Day Comprehensive Edition, or the Build-Your-Own Edition.

"First, Do No Harm" (Latin, Primum Non Nocere) is the essential motto of the medical profession (ascribed to the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates). All medical practitioners and healthcare associates promise to "First, Do No Harm" to their patients. Gymflesh® believes that EMS personnel share in upholding this age-old golden standard of healing, hope, humility, and honor.

The name of this Gymflesh® project is based on Sisyphus, a man from Greek mythology, who was commanded by the gods to roll a huge boulder up a hill for all eternity. But when he reaches the top, the boulder rolls back down immediately. And Sisyphus has to quickly run down hill and roll it back up again. Then again the boulder rolls back down without his control, and he’d have to push it back up, knowing the boulder would soon return down. Pushing upwards repeatedly. Rolling back down for all eternity. Over and over, nonstop. But Sisyphus never gives up. Each day and night, whenever, regardless of weather and conditions around him, despite sweat and tears, mood or muscle, he pushes his rock. Like EMS staff do, because they must, with honor, integrity, dedication, persistence, against all odds, and with humble pride. Gymflesh® and its EMS instructors want to be there to help you get your jobs done safely, correctly, efficiently. — EMS hands helping EMS hands.

Since 9-11, Gymflesh® has donated goods and services valued at over USD $1.5m to American military, law enforcement, fire service, and EMS personnel. Gymflesh® and its professional EMS service staff are committed to help those less-financially-abled EMS personnel to keep on pushing, always. The basic criterion is that the host EMS facility must exhibit extreme circumstances of financial loss, immediate need, and emergency conditions.
