EMS Week honors the dedication of Emergency Medical Technicians and their service to the community. Celebrating EMS Week includes outreach to schools through open house events and appreciation gift ideas for the men and women who work as EMS staff.
EMS Week is an opportunity to educate the public on the role of Emergency Medical Technicians and learn from their experiences. Through community outreach events such as open houses and classroom visits, EMTs can distribute education materials that raise emergency technique awareness, safe driving rules and other safety topics. Classroom visits can help educate students on what EMS staff does and how to interact with the EMS when they are in an emergency situation. Coloring books and fun stickers can help deliver the message to the students.
Showing appreciation for EMS staff is another highlight of EMS Week. Fire departments and hospitals can hold EMS appreciation events where the staff can be treated to a lunch or breakfast. Standout Emergency Medical Technicians can be recognized for exceptional efforts, and the entire group can receive a gift of appreciation. EMS gift ideas can include travel mugs, lunch bags and other items printed with an EMS theme logo.
