National EMS Week Press Release

National EMS Week is Sunday May 18th through Saturday May 25- a week to recognize and celebrate our local EMS professionals. We honor and give gratitude to the first responders for their commitment and dedication to our community. The 2025 theme “WE CARE. FOR EVERYONE” is a concept Southbury Ambulance (SAA) strives to live by daily and concisely summarizes the service provided by Southbury EMS 24/7 365 days. Emergency medical care begins with a 9 1 1 call to the Southbury Dispatch Center who dispatches the SPD and SAA to provide on-scene care and efficient transport to local area hospitals. Emergency Medical Service is an integral and essential piece of the National Healthcare System. In the past 12 months, SAA has responded to 475 heart-related calls and has had several CPR saves.

“I am thrilled that EMS and their day-to-day life-saving skills are honored for a specific week on a national level.” states Geralyn Hoyt / President Southbury Ambulance. Please join me in thanking all EMS personnel and acknowledge the indispensable service provided, the training and certifications maintained, and their compassion and dedicated service.
