In honor of EMS Week 2020, Lexipol and EMS1 Editorial Director Greg Friese, MS, NRP, shares our thanks to the frontline EMS providers, EMS supervisors and paramedic chiefs, hospital providers and civilians in their combined efforts to flatten the curve and care for patients during the pandemic.

“Especially during COVID-19, you’ve gone above and beyond as a frontline EMS provider to don extra PPE to take extra risk to you and your families to make sure the civilians you serve get the important life-saving care that they need,” Friese notes.

Thank you for all that you do and happy EMS Week from Lexipol and EMS1.
