The Gloucester Township Police Department would thank all of the EMT's at GTEMS (Gloucester Township Emergency Medical Services) for their hard work and dedication throughout the year.
The first National EMS Week was observed in 1974 when President Gerald Ford declared the week to acknowledge the crucial work of this critical link in emergency medical care.
WHAT IS NATIONAL EMS WEEK?
National EMS Week May 20 – 26, 2018. Across the nation, communities and medical professionals will honor the contributions of EMS practitioners. From rural communities with little to no local health care services to major cities teeming with humanity, dedicated first responders provide immediate care during a health crisis. Whether there is an accident or an illness, these trained professionals work around the clock to make sure care is available quickly. Keeping up with the latest training ensures they know the most effective life-saving emergency treatments. EMS practitioners are professionals of the highest caliber.
