The 2022 EMS Week theme: “EMS: Rising to the Challenge.“ This theme is particularly meaningful now, to remind people that every day we are faced with so many new challenges in our lives and yet we still rise above them all and continue to respond, support, and care for the needs of our communities.
We send our best wishes for the constant safety and good health of all EMS personnel on the first lines who continue to take care of our communities.

The 2022 National EMS Memorial Service and Weekend of Honor have been rescheduled for July 22-24, 2022.
