Harmony Event Medicine's Mission 2. Providing a healing environment with respectful, non-judgmental, caring support. 3. Providing care to clients who have no other opportunity to receive medical assistance due to low income, no insurance, and high cost of medical care. 4. Assisting large events in becoming safer and less burdensome on public Emergency Response systems and health facilities (911, police, EMT's, ER, hospitals, etc.), through treating minor conditions on site, providing counseling, and stabilizing trauma conditions and providing basic life support if needed while waiting for an ambulance transport. Educating anyone interested in first aid, CPR, and crisis management, regardless of previous training and skills. 5. Merging all types of medical skills into a supportive, cohesively sharing team that provides healthcare and education to attendees of events. Volunteer staff enjoying art, music and social connections while contributing to the wellbeing of our community as well as sharing their diverse medical training techniques and experience with each other. 6. A fully mobile medical clinic and training for effectively using the clinics resources. 7. Training in crisis intervention and crowd management in a variety of environments.
