Now more than ever, the role of emergency personal is highlighted in our community and HSHS Sacred Heart and St. Joseph’s hospitals recognize the role local EMS partners play in improving the health and well-being of our communities this week.
During this EMS week, May 17-23, celebrations may look and feel a bit different but the recognition of their important role is the same.
According to the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT), President Gerald Ford authorized the first “National Emergency Medical Services Week” in 1974.
