All Clear Foundation

All Clear Foundation was founded to create easily accessible and navigable solutions for the wellness challenges faced by emergency responders with the end goal of improving responder longevity and wellbeing.

In their mission to support responders, All Clear Foundation is honored to collaborate with Sigma Tactical Wellness to provide increased accessibility of Sigma’s tactical medical screening to law enforcement officers. Their evidence-based clinical evaluation has demonstrated to identify early stage heart disease even in young, fit, and asymptomatic individuals.

By providing proactive, intensive screenings to officers in urban and rural settings, regardless of their age, gender, or ethnicity we build awareness that reduces stigma, decrease financial barriers, and deliver enhanced care locally.

The Process

Sigma Tactical Wellness incorporates novel testing modalities that have been proven effective in over 6,500 law enforcement officers from across the United States. It is through this aggressive and cutting-edge technology that the rates of heart attack, obesity, and other metabolic illness can be drastically reduced if not eliminated.

This is accomplished through all of the following components:

Electrocardiogram (ECG) with physician interpretation and evaluation
Cardiometabolic stress test with evaluation and reporting
Advanced Lipid Panel and biomarker analysis through a partnership with The Cleveland Heart Lab
Consultation with a mid-level clinician (Advanced Practice Nurse/practitioner or Physician’s Assistant)
Consultation with Exercise Physiologist
In-depth nutritional analysis
Aggregated data report to command staff and administrative personnel to continue to show validation of the Sigma Model of cardio metabolic risk.

This intensive, tailored evaluation alerts officers to the negative health impacts of the job, properly assesses their cardiac risk, and provides them with the knowledge to mitigate that risk through a combination of lifestyle change and medical intervention.

Partnership with Purpose

“Our collaboration with Sigma Tactical Wellness promotes a comprehensive solution to a problem that has plagued law enforcement and other emergency responders for years: preventable cardiac and metabolic disease.”

In their shared mission to support the wellbeing and longevity of responders, All Clear Foundation is piloting a program with Sigma Tactical Wellness, which increases the accessibility of Sigma’s tactical medical screening to law enforcement officers. This evidence-based clinical evaluation has been demonstrated to identify early stage heart disease even in young, fit, and asymptomatic individuals.

Through this collaboration, we provide proactive, intensive screenings to officers in urban and rural settings, regardless of their age, gender, or ethnicity.
