The theme for EMS Week 2026 is “Improving Outcomes, Together” and an opportunity to focus on how EMS professionals work with 911, fire, law enforcement, healthcare partners & EMA to enhance survival and recovery! EMS Week is a time to educate the public about EMS and the essential service they provide to communities! This week is a time to Thank paramedics, EMT’s and the entire EMS workforce for their services & sacrifices! It’s also an opportunity for EMS to continue to raise public awareness about the critical role of EMS in the community!!
