The hospital says it’s thankful for their dedication and sacrifice year-round to helping others in the community.

We are appreciative of them and we are glad to see the hospital come and take them in, give them a party to eat and recognize what they do.”
This year’s theme for National EMS Week is “We Care for Everyone.”
