EDMONTON – It’s National Paramedic Services Week (NPSW) (May 21-27) and AHS wants to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all paramedics in Alberta.
Paramedics play an integral role in serving the public. This week is about taking time to celebrate these highly skilled professionals and better understand the importance of EMS within our healthcare system and our communities.
Albertans are invited to pay tribute to our province’s more than 4,000 life-saving paramedics by sending a thank you note through the Thank a Paramedic website, available at www.thankaparamedic.com
We thank paramedics for the hard work and professional care they provide each and every day to thousands of Albertans and for supporting one another. EMS is an essential component to Alberta’s healthcare system and we sincerely value the work paramedics do for Albertans.
