Nation honors EMS providers during National EMS Week

ORGANIZATIONS IN THIS STORY

Over 240 million times a year, nearly seven times every second, Americans call 911 to seek emergency medical assistance. With just one call, a team of skilled and experienced professionals is dispatched to provide lifesaving care.

The nation's Emergency Medical Service (EMS) providers consist of ordinary citizens who display extraordinary courage, compassion, and commitment. In critical moments when lives are at stake, these EMS providers are relied upon to deliver expert medical care swiftly and effectively.

While the contributions of emergency medical technicians, paramedics, emergency medicine nurses, and physicians are recognized regularly, this National EMS Week offers a special opportunity to honor those who sacrifice for others' safety.

The daily sacrifices made by EMS providers across the United States do not go unnoticed. Whether working in ambulances or emergency rooms, on aircraft or ships, Americans have confidence in the readiness of their highly trained medical responders.

During this week, the Administration acknowledges every EMS professional who works tirelessly on the frontlines during crises. There is immense gratitude for all noble professionals and volunteers whose resilience ensures America's safety.
