National EMS Week: The Hero You Don’t Know

May 19, 2019May 22, 2019 / in Holiday / Hero Observance / by Danielle Wente

May 19-25 marks National Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Week and during this week we are taking the time to honor those who are EMS professionals. But, more importantly, honoring them because they have dedicated their own lives to preserving the lives of others.
