Rockland Paramedic Services proudly joins the nationwide celebration of EMS Week, taking place May 18–24, 2025, to recognize and honor the dedicated paramedics, EMTs, and support staff who serve on the frontlines of emergency medical care in our community.
This year’s national theme, “We Care. For Everyone,” reflects the inclusive, compassionate, and expert care that EMS professionals provide across every zip code, age group, and walk of life. The professionals at Rockland Paramedics are there 24/7 — ready to respond, care, and protect.
“EMS Week is a time to recognize the incredible men and women behind the scenes, those who go above and beyond to make a difference when seconds count,” said Tim Egan, Executive Director of Rockland Paramedics Services. “At Rockland Paramedic Services, we are proud of our team’s commitment to excellence, compassion, and community.”
Now in its 51st year, National EMS Week is more than a celebration — it’s a call to raise awareness of the critical role EMS plays in public health, emergency preparedness, and community safety. “In Rockland County, we believe prevention is just as powerful as response, and we encourage residents to take advantage of resources like registering for car seat safety checks hosted by the Rockland County Sheriff’s Office, as well as CPR training and other wellness programs,” added Egan.
Throughout EMS Week, Rockland Paramedic Services will participate in themed days including:
- Sunday, May 18: Health, Wellness and Resilience Day
- Monday, May 19: EMS Education Day
- Tuesday, May 20: EMS Safety Day
- Wednesday, May 21: EMS for Children Day
- Thursday, May 22: Save-A-Life Day
- Friday, May 23: EMS Recognition Day
- Saturday, May 24: EMS Remembrance Day
Those who wish to show gratitude for Rockland County EMS professionals, can comment on their social media, providing positive feedback for all their hard work and dedication to the community.
