The National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT) along with the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) partner to lead the nationwide EMS Week activities. With a theme of EMS Strong: Beyond the Call, 2019 is the 45th Annual National EMS Week.
Locally, members of Camden County Fire Rescue participated in a class on landing zone safety and a case review on pediatric trauma led by TraumaOne Flight Services. Additionally, the Camden Firefighters Association provided t-shirts for all paramedics and Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) to wear during EMS Week, featuring the nationwide theme.
