Celebrating the Everyday Heroes Among Us- EMS Week 2023

by Andy Romine, CEO
National Emergency Medical Service (EMS) Week is May 21- 27, 2023, and I want to recognize the remarkable EMS professionals who are providing care to our community and the first responders who are performing life-saving services in the field.
In my role, I have the privilege of interacting with so many individuals who work tirelessly, each and every day, to make our hospitals and our community a better place. I am grateful for the many paramedics, EMTs and EMS personnel who play such a critical role in helping our community members get safe, emergency medical care, promptly when they need it. Their importance was further emphasized in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian last year, when our area EMS personnel exemplified courage, selflessness, and perseverance in ensuring our community, in collaboration with our ShorePoint Health hospital team members, had access to life-saving healthcare.These first responders are living examples of what it means to strive to make our community a better place through their service to anyone and everyone in need.
My hope is that you take a minute out of your day to say thank you to these individuals when you see them out at the grocery store, at the local gym, or anywhere else you may encounter them. Local EMS professionals are truly living out our mission to help people get well and live healthier. As we celebrate this year, please join me in sharing your thanks and appreciation for the everyday heroes among us. ShorePoint Health Port Charlotte-Punta Gorda are honored to partner with local EMS professionals to serve you and your family when you need us.
