The 2008 EMS Week theme is “Your Life is Our Mission.” This statement was chosen to recognize the commitment that emergency medical personnel make to the communities they serve.
Â
EMS Week — held this year from May 20 to May 26 — was established to bring communities and medical personnel together to publicize safety and honor the dedication of EMS workers.
Â
So if you see anyone from SouthEast EMS or MASI this week, give them a pat on the back and tell them thanks for the great job they do.
Have A Great Week,
Lyle Welch
