Since early this year, the EMS Week Committee has been planning activities and working to create a schedule of events that are meaningful to all of you. We want to celebrate the important contributions of every department at REMSA Health and thank employees across all shifts and locations. We hope that through these events, giveaways and awards you feel recognized and appreciated - because you are! Happy EMS Week!
