WASHINGTON, DC - The American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP), in partnership with the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT), is proud to announce the EMS Week 2021 theme: THIS IS EMS: CARING FOR OUR COMMUNITIES. The annual campaign recognizes the heroes who provide emergency medical services in communities across the country and takes place May 16 - 21 this year. “The COVID-19 pandemic continues to test EMS professionals like never before,” said Mark Rosenberg, DO, MBA, FACEP, president of ACEP. “EMTs, paramedics and other frontline workers are rising to the challenge and each has a crucial role in responding to the public health crisis of our lifetime. National EMS Week is a time to recognize and honor EMS professionals for their tireless dedication to their communities—not just during this pandemic but every day.” Under the “EMS Strong” banner, the campaign supports and strengthens the EMS community by honor-
ing accomplishments and increasing awareness of the critical role of EMS in communities across the country. Inspiring stories about EMS practitioners can be found on www.EMSSTRONG.org along with the annual EMS Week Planning Guide, a resource for the EMS community and stakeholders to help celebrate EMS Week and promote the value of emergency medical services. “Throughout the pandemic, EMS has been on the frontlines, caring for the sickest COVID-19 patients, while also staffing COVID-19 testing and vaccine clinics,” said Chief Bruce Evans, CFO, SPO, NRP, MPA, president of NAEMT. “EMS Week is a chance for communities to come together and express their gratitude for EMS practitioners. Our nation’s paramedics and EMTs, as well as their families, have been through so much. Recognizing their service and sacrifices is an important step in healing and recovery from the stress and intensity of the past year.” EMS Week dedicates five days to specific themes, and first responders are encour-
aged to plan activities and events around these themes in their communities. • Monday, May 17: EMS Education Day • Tuesday, May 18: EMS Safety Day • Wednesday, May 19: EMS for Children Day • Thursday, May 20: SaveA-Life Day (CPR & National Stop the Bleed Day) • Friday, May 21: EMS Recognition Day Integral to the campaign’s success is the involvement and support from the corporate sponsors, strategic association partners and strategic media partners.
