EMS Week

Welcome to EMS Week (May 15-21, 2005). ACUTE CARE offers our enthusiastic support of the celebration of the contribution of prehospital professionals to our nation's health and welfare.

Here's a link to an excellent press release from our friends at the University of Iowa and to the American College of Emergency Physicians' (ACEP's) EMS Week page, excerpted below.

Emergency Medical Services Week brings together local communities and medical personnel to publicize safety and honor the dedication of those who provide the day-to-day lifesaving services of the medical "front line."

EMS Week is sponsored by the American College of Emergency Physicians. Organizational sponsors include The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Emergency Medical Services for Children program.
