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. Since 1992, EMS Week has moved to the third week of May.
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.
