National EMS Week is May 17 to 23.  It is a great time to create community and department events and opportunities around EMS, and spotlight the people who deliver patient care and operate within the system.  National EMS Week is sponsored by the American College of Emergency Physicians and the National Association of EMTs.

To coordinate the occasion, Governor Scott Walker has proclaimed Wisconsin EMS Week, May 17-23.  >> Click to download Governor Walker's Wisconsin EMS Week Proclamation
