Do you know what week this is?

Take a guess?

If you guessed Boot Whore Week, well, you’re wrong.

Of course if being wrong looks so good… then no one should ever be right.

If you guessed EMS Week, you’re right!!!

This week, May 17-23, is National EMS Week.  During this week EMS Agencies will be performing outreach and safety activities such as open houses, car seat checks, blood pressure screenings, and blood drives.  Agencies will also spend the week honoring those who have displayed exemplary performance and remembering those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in fulfilling the call to serve others in their greatest hour of need.

So sometime this week… give an EMT or Paramedic a hug for performing their duty unflinchingly while being overworked, underpaid, and sleep deprived.

Then go take a bath in Lysol because who knows where they have been.
