About this facility

Mission

Our Mission Team Rubicon unites the skills and experiences of military veterans
with medical professionals to rapidly deploy emergency response teams
into crisis situations. Team Rubicon Saves Lives. Since its creation in January 2010, TR has impacted thousands
of lives – in Haiti, Chile, Burma, Pakistan, Sudan, and here
at home, in Vermont, Maryland, Missouri, and Alabama. TR
reaches victims outside the scope of where traditional aid
organizations venture; victims on the fringe. Team Rubicon Engages Veterans. Hundreds of US military veterans, many returning home after
fighting ten years of war, find a renewed sense of purpose
for their skills and experiences through TR. Team Rubicon Sets Itself Apart In the Nonprofit World. Is it a disaster relief organization? A veteran-focused enterprise?
The truth is it’s both. TR pioneered a new paradigm in disaster
response while redefining the meaning of veteran reintegration
into society. Team Rubicon Pioneered the Concept of Veteran-Focused Disaster
Response. On the streets of Port-au-Prince, in the immediate aftermath of
the Haiti earthquake, TR’s military veterans realized a simple
truth – natural disasters present many of the same problems
that confront troops in Iraq and Afghanistan: unstable populations,
limited resources, horrific sights, sounds and smells. The skills
cultivated on those same battlefields – emergency medicine, risk
assessment and mitigation, teamwork and decisive leadership – are
invaluable in disaster zones.
