Happy New Year to everyone!

My name is Don Mekkes, and I am the Founder of the young startup UNITY EMS.

- https://www.theunityems.com/

The purpose of this post is to briefly introduce UNITY EMS to you all and ask for you open and honest feedback (which I know EMS never lacks) and ask for your support if you agree with our purpose and story.

The purpose of UNITY EMS is very simple - TO HELP EMS! Help EMS as a profession and as an industry: increase safety, enable peak performance, and create a distinct identity that reflects the pride you men and women take in the work you do and the lives you save.

To begin achieving this, we are developing the first and only high-performance uniform designed for EMS.

For the last 9+ months we've talked with hundreds of field medics and administrators (including engaging this forum). The feedback was clear: the generic, outdated, and uncomfortable uniforms you EMS professionals wear hinder your performance, decrease your safety, and diminish your professional identity as lifesavers and PROUD. MEDICAL. PROFESSIONALS.

Our design has been driven by direct industry input, prototyping, and field testing - designed FOR MEDICS BY MEDICS.

Please checkout our website and like us on facebook to learn more:

We sincerely appreciate your support and to the more than 800K medics in the USA - THANK YOU!

Just wanted to share a review from a once skeptical EMS professional on the forum linked above. The below is after a personal encounter with DrParasite to show him we are sincere in our mission and efforts...and have a better product!

DrParasite:

'So I met the OP for lunch today, and got to check out this product first hand. And even though his initial few posts were met with skepticism by as to his underlying cause, and while I still disagree that his product will solve our identity issue, I do think that it was nice to see a uniform shirt that was actually designed with EMS in mind.

The product appears to be a good choice for anyone who wants to go away from the class B button down shirts that are commonly used as uniforms. Looking at it in person, it's like a tactical polo shirt, where it has a lot of nice features that aid in its functionality. moisture wicking, wrinkle free material, and stain resistant fabric are all features that made me think that it would be a good choice for an EMS shirt.

And his company actually did the research on what it's limits were, which makes me think that, while he is trying to sell his product, he is actually willing to invest the time and money to see how it can best be used in EMS.

If I was still working for a service that was looking to upgrade it's standard uniform from a button down to a better shirt, I'd be passing along this company's info. actually, I still have some friends who are working EMS full time, and I just might do that. anything to get away from the old collared button down shirts.'
