Integris marks 13th annual salute to first responders
The team at INTEGRIS Health Edmond Hospital recently wrapped its 13th Annual First Responders Cookout in recognition of EMS Week and are proud to say it’s become one of our favorite traditions. What started as a handful of ambulances pulling into their parking lot has grown into a community-wide celebration of the incredible EMS, fire and police crews who serve Edmond, Guthrie and our surrounding communities every day.
INTEGRIS Health Edmond Hospital, along with this year’s generous sponsor AT&T First Net, is honored to host this event each year to recognize the commitment, courage and care our first responders show our Edmond community. We are so grateful for the men and women who show up every shift, in every emergency and always when it matters most.
In 1974, President Gerald Ford authorized EMS Week to celebrate EMS professionals and the important work they do in our nation's communities. National Emergency Medical Services Week brings together local communities and medical personnel to honor the dedication of those who provide the day-to-day lifesaving services of medicine's frontline.
