ABOUT FRONTLINE READINESS PROJECT 

 OUR MISSION

Frontline Readiness Project exists to protect the long-term health of first responders by providing free DEXA body composition scans that deliver critical health insights and help prevent heart-related illness, the leading cause of line-of-duty death among firefighters, police officers, and EMS personnel.

WHY WE EXIST

First responders face unique occupational stressors, including long shifts, high physical demands, disrupted sleep, and chronic stress. Despite the critical nature of their work, many firefighters, police officers, and EMS professionals lack access to advanced preventive health screening that can identify early risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

Traditional physicals and fitness tests often fail to detect underlying health risks related to body composition and fat distribution. Without clear, objective data, early warning signs are frequently missed until serious health events occur.

Frontline Readiness Project was created to address this gap by making advanced DEXA scanning accessible at no cost, empowering first responders with the information they need to make informed decisions about their health, fitness, and longevity.

WHAT WE DO

We partner with departments, organizations, and community groups to deliver on-site or coordinated DEXA scan events for first responders. These scans provide detailed body composition insights, including:

• Body fat distribution
  
  

• Lean muscle mass
  
  

• Bone density
  
  

• Risk profiles that may correlate with elevated visceral fat levels
  
  

• Overall health and wellness indicators
  
  

By presenting this data in a clear and actionable format, Frontline Readiness Project helps first responders identify potential health risks early and take proactive steps toward prevention and long-term wellbeing.
