Paramedic Services Week (May 24-30) provides an opportunity to acknowledge the important role that paramedics play on the front lines of the healthcare system.

The pandemic has highlighted the importance of that role, as Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel are now dealing with some added uncertainty. 

Chief nursing officer for Shared Health Lanette Siragusa commends EMS personnel for their ability to handle unpredictable situations in uncontrolled environments every day.

“We just want to thank the paramedics for the dedication they show to improve patient outcomes, and their fantastic professionalism.”

An informative guide has been released detailing how you can best support paramedics as they carry out their duties during the COVID situation. You can access it here.
