May 19-25, 2024 is National Paramedic Services Week, a time to honour the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) profession and recognize the professionals who provide this vital public service. Paramedic Services Week also offers an opportunity to better understand the important role EMS plays within the health care system, and for our communities.
Alberta’s EMS system is comprised of dedicated Emergency Medical Dispatchers, Inter-facility Transportation, community-based First Responders, as well EMS Practitioners in ground and air (rotary and fixed-wing) transport ambulances.
This year's national theme Help Us Help You is an opportunity to highlight the many ways that paramedic services help people, from the provision of emergency care for those critically ill and injured to the more contemporary role of paramedic services as part of a greater health system.
Join us as we celebrate these heroes and learn more about the incredible care they provide each and every day.
