EMS WEEK 2025: May 18-24, 2025

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. EMS Week is presented by the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) in partnership with the National Associations of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT). Together, NAEMT and ACEP lead annual EMS Week activities. These organizations are working to ensure that the important contributions of EMS professionals in safeguarding the health, safety and well-being of their communities are fully celebrated and recognized.

EMS WEEK 2025:
As EMS professionals, WE CARE. FOR EVERYONE. Our dedication and lifesaving skills are put to the test every day. We’re called to care in big cities and in small towns, in private homes, businesses, schools and on our nation's roadways.

Whether it’s saving a young victim of a motor vehicle crash, helping an elderly patient who’s forgotten to take her medication, stabilizing a construction worker experiencing chest pain on the jobsite, or treating an overdose on a city street, we’re trained and ready to deliver a range of medical interventions and support because WE CARE. FOR EVERYONE.

Our roles and responsibilities are growing and changing and we’re rising to the challenge. From community paramedicine to preventive healthcare, we’re tasked with providing next-level patient navigation and care in new surroundings, using new technologies. We’re there for our community, whenever and wherever they need us. Because WE CARE. FOR EVERYONE.

Honoring Our Past. Forging Our Future.

Half a century ago, a presidential proclamation called on the nation to support efforts to improve emergency medical care across the country. It also established the first national EMS Week, a tradition we proudly continue today. Much has changed since 1974, yet there is still much we can learn from those trailblazing professionals who helped EMS evolve into the sophisticated branch of medicine it is today. Their dedication, commitment and sacrifice inspire us to take bold steps of our own, to continue to seek out ways to better serve our patients and our communities.
This year, we celebrate EMS Week by honoring our past—by taking a pause to recognize the contributions of each generation, the people who dreamed that we could save more lives and have less suffering, and then found ways to make it happen. EMS Week is never just about the past, however. It’s also about inspiring the EMS professionals just starting out and the young people who haven’t even discovered EMS yet. It’s about learning from the challenges and building on the successes of the last five decades. It’s about forging our future—a future in which the next generation has the tools they need to deliver compassionate care and alleviate suffering in communities everywhere.
