Dear EMS Providers,

May 19-25, 2019, is the 45th annual National EMS Week. In 1974, President Gerald Ford authorized EMS Week to celebrate EMS practitioners and the important work they do in our nation's communities. NAEMT partners with the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) to lead annual EMS Week activities. EMS week is upon us and the Greater Miami Valley EMS Council would like to take this opportunity to say Thank you for your service and for going "Beyond the Call".

Responding to calls, performing life-saving skills, missing time with family, providing education to the citizens of your communities are just a few tasks of the job. We recognize the skills, abilities, determination, dedication, and resilience you bring to the job 24/7.

Thank you for being EMS Strong as you continue providing EMS services to your communities.

On behalf of the Greater Miami Valley EMS Council, Thank you!
