During a recent commission meeting, Mayor Teri Johnston and the City Commission proclaimed the week of May 16 through May 22 as National Emergency Medical Services Week.
The official theme for the 2022 National Emergency Medical Services Week is EMS Strong: Beyond the Call.
"Emergency medical services provide vital lifesaving care to those in need 24 hours a day, seven days a week," reads the proclamation, "dramatically improving the survival and recovery rate of those who experience sudden illness or injury."
The designation is a way of reaching out and thanking all of those first responders who ensure that the community has the best and fastest medical emergency response possible every day.
