| From: | Senator Doug Mastriano |
| To: | All Senate members |
| Subject: | EMS Week (May 19-25) |
| In the near future, I will be introducing a resolution designating May 19-25, 2024, as “Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Week” in Pennsylvania. For fifty years, EMS Week has been observed – honoring the vast network of emergency medical responders, from ambulance attendants and paramedics to firefighters, police officers, and emergency room doctors and nurses who rush to render aid 24/7, in the face of sudden, life-threatening illness and injury. These first responders often provide life-saving care at great risk to themselves, responding to the scene of brutal crimes, raging fires, and devastating traffic accidents. For sick and injured patients, access to high-quality emergency care significantly improves their recovery process and chances of survival. As skilled professionals in the front lines of emergency care, volunteer and career members of our EMS network engage in thousands of hours of specialized training and continuing education to enhance their lifesaving abilities. Our EMS workers greatly deserve this recognition. The 50th Anniversary of EMS Week theme is “Honoring Our Past. Forging Our Future.” Please join me in supporting our EMS providers with this resolution. |
