Staff members of Warren County Ambulance District gathered with Commissioner Roger Mauzy, also an employee of the district, for the official proclamation signing recognizing EMS Week. The crew is staged in the photo with one of the brand new power operated stretchers made possible through grant funds. All trucks within the district will be outfitted with these new stretchers within the next few weeks.May 15-21 marks the 42nd year of recognizing National EMS Week. In 1973, President Gerald Ford authorized EMS Week to celebrate EMS practitioners and the important work they do in our nation’s communities. The EMS Strong campaign seeks to celebrate, unify and inspire the men and women of our nation’s emergency medical service.The Warren County Ambulance District takes this opportunity to honor the staff through appreciation gifts, staff meals, special events and EMS Week T-shirts all made possible by the generous support of local businesses and individuals. This year, nearly 30 businesses have shown their appreciation of the employees of Warren County Ambulance with monetary sponsorships, donations of items for staff thank you bags, gift cards etc.Community members and business are encouraged to extend a Tip O’ the Hat to the emergency medical service men and women during this special week.
