EMS Week Proclamation 

Cape Girardeau, Missouri - During the May 21st Cape Girardeau City Council meeting, Mayor Bob Fox issued a proclamation marking May 21-27 as EMS Week.

In 1973, President Gerald Ford authorized EMS Week to celebrate emergency medical services, its practitioners and the important work they do in responding to medical emergencies.

National Emergency Medical Services Week brings together local communities and medical personnel to publicize safety and honor the dedication of those who provide the day-to-day lifesaving services of medicine's "front line."

Thanks, Fire Department and Cape County Private Ambulance staff, for all you do to help.
