Community Outreach
Med One Group is not only committed to making a difference in the medical field but also within the many communities we serve. In particular, we enjoy sponsoring or supporting events that directly influence the lives of children.
Salt Lake Bees Prevention Dimensions Kids Day
Since 2005, Med One Group has teamed up with the Salt Lake Bees (the L.A. Angels Triple A affiliate) and Prevention Dimensions to provide a day at the ball game for students. This game is a reward for Utah elementary school students who participate in the Prevention Dimensions program, which is a set of resource lessons designed to give students a strong foundation of effective violence and substance abuse prevention skills. Every year over 12,000 students attend the baseball game, enjoying the ballpark and gaining skills for a safe and drug-free life. Prevention Dimensions has become a powerful tool for teachers to increase protective factors in students' lives.

CrossFit O.U.R. Wodsomniac Event
The CrossFit O.U.R Wodsomniac event is held every year in Draper, UT. This event helps raise funds, and bring a spotlight to Operation Underground Railroad and the important work they do. Their goal is to rescue child sex slaves here in the United States and around the world. CrossFit O.U.R’s purpose is to engage the CrossFit community through events, memberships, and exposure with the goal that donations will then go directly to rescuing and supporting survivors. Med One was proud to be a part of their 2022 event by producing video content that shows the deeper meaning behind the Crossfit O.U.R community and the goals of Operation Underground Railroad.

Sleep Smart Drive Smart
In 2005 the Sleep Smart Drive Smart organization was founded with a goal to raise awareness about the dangers of drowsy driving. Troy Tait, Senior Vice President of Customer Care for Med One Group, was a co-founder of the Sleep Smart Drive Smart initiative. Med One has been a supporter from the beginning, and participates in several events throughout the year educating the public on the importance of safe driving. Members of the SSDS board visit elementary schools and educate them through hands-on activities. Sleep Smart Drive Smart later partnered with Zero Fatalities, an organization dedicated to raising awareness about dangerous driving habits. Together the organizations hope to educate people and communities throughout Utah to lower the number of fatalities related to drowsy driving.
