Emergency medical services (EMS) Week, or EMS Week, was originally authorized by President Gerald Ford on November 4, 1974, for the week of November 3–10.[1] Since 1992, EMS Week has moved to the third week of May.[2] In 2024, the 50th annual celebration for EMS Week is scheduled for the week of May 19-25, and the theme is "Honoring Our Past. Forging our Future."[2][3]

Locally, the leadership of EMS agencies, hospitals, and representatives from local or state legislature recognize EMS personnel during the week through events such as cook outs, giveaways, awards, and public recognition..[4]
