BERWYN, PA - May 17-23, 2020, marks the 46th annual National EMS Week. In 1974, President Gerald Ford authorized EMS Week to celebrate EMS practitioners and the important work they do in our nation's communities. With the entire nation facing the COVID-19 pandemic, now more than ever highlights the importance of having high quality pre-hospital EMS care in your community.
