🚑💙 National EMS Week 2026 | EMS for Children (EMSC) Day 💙🚑
Today, Tuesday, May 19, we recognize EMS for Children (EMSC) Day as part of National EMS Week 2026, observed May 17–23. Since 1974, EMS Week has honored the dedication of EMTs, paramedics, dispatchers, and first responders who work tirelessly to protect and serve our communities.
This year’s theme, “Improving Outcomes, Together,” highlights the importance of teamwork and collaboration in emergency care — especially when caring for our youngest patients. From specialized pediatric training to compassionate care during emergencies, EMS professionals make a difference in the lives of children and families every single day.
Thank you to all EMS personnel and healthcare partners who are committed to providing exceptional emergency care for children across our communities. 👧👦❤️
