This year, EMS Week is May 15-21 and our slogan is “EMS Strong: Called to Care.” EMS Week brings together local communities and medical personnel to recognize and honor the dedication of those who provide day-to-day lifesaving services of emergency medicine’s “front line.” EMS Strong: Called to Care will make EMS Week a 365-day a year initiative to give EMS a significantly greater visibility among other heal professions and communities. Putting EMS squarely where it belongs: as an indispensable part of the healthcare continuum.
