National EMS Week is May 18 – 24, 2025. This week IDHS and Governor Mike Braun encourage Hoosiers to celebrate and honor emergency medical service personnel throughout Indiana.
This is part of the national EMS Week campaign, now in its 51st year, led by the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT) and the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP). The 2025 theme is “We Care. For Everyone.”
Indiana has over 25,000 certified emergency medical responders, emergency medical technicians, advanced emergency medical technicians and paramedics. To highlight this critical team of first responders, Governor Braun proclaimed this week as EMS Week in Indiana.
“EMS personnel in Indiana are high-trained, qualified and professional clinicians. They go into high-stress situations with a servant’s heart knowing they play a crucial role impacting Hoosier lives,” said State EMS Director Kraig Kinney. “We are proud to honor them this week and thank them for their service.”
