Honoring our brave EMS heroes during National EMS Week! Thank you for your tireless devotion, sacrifices, and for always being there when needed.
Kick off your countdown for National EMS Week starting on May 19! This incredibly important week has its roots in 1974 when President Gerald Ford authorized the first "Emergency Medical Services Week." The aim was to celebrate and acknowledge the vital contributions of EMS practitioners in safeguarding the health, safety, and wellbeing of their communities. Since then, every third week of May, communities come together to express their gratitude for these amazing professionals. Kicking off an exciting week of activities, events, and of course, giving thanks for their unyielding bravery and dedication, this is one National celebration that truly resonates in the heart of every community! Let's honor our heroic EMS personnel for always being there in our times of crisis.

There are several nonprofit organizations that support EMS professionals and first responders. Make a difference in their lives by donating what you can spare.
In your spare time, do research about the role and importance of Emergency Medical Services in your community. This helps you understand the vital work these lifesavers do.
