This resolution commends the emergency medical services (EMS) professionals in Georgia, recognizing their critical role in providing life-saving medical care. The resolution highlights that Georgia's EMS system is celebrating its 49th year of service, with over 26,000 licensed personnel responding to almost one million calls for assistance annually. These professionals provide essential out-of-hospital emergency medical care, focusing on illness and injury prevention, trauma system development, public education, and prompt emergency medical response. The resolution specifically designates February 28, 2025, as Emergency Medical Services Recognition Day at the state capitol, honoring the courageous work of EMS personnel who dramatically improve survival and recovery rates for individuals experiencing sudden illness or injury. Additionally, the resolution directs the Secretary of the Senate to distribute copies of the resolution to the Chairman of the Georgia Emergency Medical Services Association and the Director of the Georgia Office of Emergency Medical Services and Trauma.
