Every day, and especially during EMS Week ? Sunday, May 17, to Saturday, May 23, 2026 ? we honor the entire EMS profession for all they do to protect our health and safety.

This year?s theme, ?Improving Outcomes, Together,? is an opportunity to focus on the many ways EMS professionals work together and across disciplines?with 911, healthcare, public health, fire service, law enforcement, and others?in the best interests of patients.

Collaboration and communication are key to improving outcomes across EMS, including better patient care, injury prevention and support for the well-being of clinicians and leaders.

Working together is also critical to innovation. This year?s EMS Week highlights an advanced post-crash care intervention that?s quickly expanding across the country: prehospital blood transfusion?the delivery of blood products to patients injured in a motor vehicle crash, helping to save lives and prevent injury.

All funds collected from this drive will be donated to the family of Peggy Webster.
