Dallas, TX - The American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP), in partnership with the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT), is proud to announce EMS STRONG, a new campaign designed to unite and inspire emergency medical services (EMS) personnel, strengthen the profession on a national level and expand and amplify National EMS Week.
The campaign brings together key associations, media partners and corporate sponsors who are committed to celebrating the EMS professional, strengthening the profession and bringing EMS Week into the future.
“For more than 40 years, ACEP has been involved in growing national EMS Week,” said ACEP president Dr. Michael Gerardi. “With this new campaign and the partnership with NAEMT, we look forward to further expanding national EMS Week and bringing more awareness to the extraordinary men and women of EMS.”
