Written by AAA Staff on May 22, 2025. Posted in Executive.

From the White House on May 20, 2025

Over 240 million times a year – nearly seven times every second – an American in need dials 911. With one simple call, Americans can activate a team of highly-skilled and experienced emergency medical professionals to evaluate and administer lifesaving care anytime, anywhere.

Our Emergency Medical Service (EMS) providers are made up of ordinary Americans who demonstrate extraordinary courage, compassion, and devotion to duty. When seconds count and lives hang in the balance, we can always count on EMS providers to act swiftly and valiantly in rendering expert medical care.

While we salute and honor the service of our emergency medical technicians, paramedics, emergency medicine nurses and physicians every week, this National EMS Week, we pay special tribute to those who selflessly sacrifice so others may live.

We recognize the sacrifice our EMS providers make each and every day in every corner of our country. Whether on an ambulance or in an emergency room, aboard aircraft or sea-faring vessels, Americans rest easy knowing that the greatest and most field-tested medical providers anywhere in the World are standing by to respond in a moment’s notice.

This week, my Administration honors every EMS professional who is selflessly working on the frontlines of crisis to aid others in their hour of need. We offer our unending gratitude to every noble professional and volunteer whose strength, fortitude, and determination keeps America safe.
