As we approach National EMS Week—May 17-23, 2026—National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) Office of EMS would like to recognize our nation’s emergency medical services clinicians for their dedicated service. Thank you for helping your communities by caring for those in need, making critical decisions under pressure and providing lifesaving care.
The theme for EMS Week 2026, “Improving Outcomes, Together,” invites us to reaffirm our commitment, as partners and communities, to support advancements that save lives before patients reach the hospital. The National EMS Week Resource Center features downloadable content to help you plan and promote this special week in your community.
Save A Life Day, Thursday, May 21, is an ideal day to conduct Stop the Bleed, CPR training or other programs that educate the community about the essential role of EMS. It’s also an opportunity to host a blood drive in your community, highlighting the critical intervention of prehospital blood transfusion. Access a toolkit of resources to jump start organizing a blood drive today.
