Happy Emergency Medical Services For Children™ Day! On this day, the Federal EMSC Program partners each year with the American College of Emergency Physicians to honor Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Week.
To learn more about EMS Week, please visit the website below:
As part of the week, Emergency Medical Services for Children Day (also known as EMSC Day) is celebrated on Wednesday. EMS providers respond to the needs of millions of Americans every year.
The day raises awareness of the need for improved and expanded specialized care for children.
Emergency care often comes from parents, caregivers, trained EMS providers, and hospital personnel. Together, they strive to meet the unique needs of critically ill or injured pediatric patients.
HOW TO OBSERVE
Support EMS personnel and first responders in bringing quality EMS services to children no matter the setting they are in.
• EMS personnel attend webinars and review fact sheets and fliers
• Review the latest information and resources regarding the specialized needs of children
• Advocate for federal action and contact your Congress members regarding support of the EMSC program
