National EMS Week ends today, and we want to take this opportunity to recognize and thank our Emergency Medical Services heroes, who safeguard our health, safety and well-being every day.

Thank you for all you do. We appreciate you.

In 1974, President Gerald Ford authorized EMS Week to celebrate EMS practitioners and the important work they do in our nation's communities. National Emergency Medical Services Week honors the dedication of those who provide the day-to-day lifesaving services of medicine's frontline.
