Falck San Diego Provides Emergency Support Services at San Diego AIDS Walk and Run

Falck San Diego, an emergency medical services provider, was pleased to have been selected to provide emergency medical services at the 2013 San Diego AIDS Walk and Run in Balboa Park. Falck San Diego EMTs were on site to help ensure each participant had a safe and successful walk in support of funding for AIDS research and community education.

“Falck San Diego was proud to be a part of the San Diego AIDS Walk and Run and support those who have fought and live with HIV and AIDS,” said Rich Ahrendt, the company’s CEO. “We were delighted to provide medical services at the event and to participate in the walk as a corporate team.”

Falck San Diego, which launched operations from its El Cajon office in June 2103, has been on the scene throughout San Diego County, providing non-emergency patient transports to area hospitals. While Falck may be new to the region, the company’s experience providing emergency services dates back more than a century.

 “We were so happy to have Falck involved with this year’s AIDS Walk San Diego,” said Sarafina Scapicchio, Director of Events for the San Diego LGBT Community Center. “Because of Falck’s generosity, we were able to create a safer event so that our participants could come together and collectively raise thousands of dollars for 17 of our local HIV/AIDS service providers.”

In addition to the AIDS Walk, Falck San Diego is active in the San Diego community, with employees joining local boards and sponsoring civic organizations, including the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce, San Diego County Taxpayers Association, San Diego Fire Rescue Foundation, Alpha Project, Downtown San Diego Partnership and Mama’s Kitchen.
