EMS Week acknowledges the important contributions of EMS professionals in safeguarding the health, safety and well-being of their communities, and ensures their hard work is fully celebrated and appreciated. This year, the 51st time EMS Week has been observed in our nation, will feature the theme, “We Care. For Everyone.”

The EMS Week campaign brings the country together to honor the accomplishments of EMTs, paramedics and other critical team members, in addition to building awareness of their vital role in prehospital medical care, emergency management and community healthcare. The theme expresses how emergency service professionals’ dedication and lifesaving skills are put to the test every day, for everyone–in big cities and in small towns and everywhere in between.
