National EMS Recognition Week – May 20 – 26

The week of May 20 – 26, 2012 is National EMS Recognition Week.  Please take this time to thank all EMS personnel for time and service.  This year the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) has determined this year’s theme to be “EMS:  More Than A Job. A Calling.”  ACEP believes that EMS practitioners don’t choose their field for salaries and comfortable working conditions and hours.  EMS practitioners choose their field to help and care for individuals in their time of need.
