National Paramedic Services Week (NPSW) began on Sunday and runs until Saturday.
The week highlights the vital work these professionals do every day and how they play an integral role in serving the public.
So often, when called, they are on scene quickly to help and then gone just as fast, leaving little opportunity for those they assist to properly say thank you.
Through the Alberta Health Services (AHS) website, you can send a thank-you note using the “Thank a Paramedic” feature.
Take this opportunity to pay tribute to the province’s more than 4,000 life-saving paramedics.
AHS thanks paramedics for the hard work and professional care they provide to thousands of Albertans each day, and for the support they offer one another.
This week is also a time to celebrate these highly skilled professionals and better understand the critical role EMS plays in our health-care system and our communities.
