Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is honoring Michigan’s dedicated Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel by proclaiming May 21-27 as Michigan EMS Recognition Week.
“Michigan EMS heroes are a lifeline to our communities, serving our residents when they need it most,” said Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian, chief medical executive at the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS). “We owe these heroic First Responders so much appreciation this week during EMS Week and all year round.”
EMS providers stand ready day or night to help residents, providing critical pre-hospital care to Michiganders in both emergencies and other health care situations. These services include preventative medicine, follow-up care, other transportation needs and more. EMS heroes help improve survival and recovery rates of people who experience sudden illness or injury.
“Michigan’s EMS practitioners take great pride in providing lifesaving pre-hospital care to residents in need,” said Jason MacDonald, president of the Michigan Association of Ambulance Services and vice president at Medstar Ambulance. “We stand ready to serve Michiganders in-need and encourage others to consider serving their communities by working in EMS.”
There are 29,035 EMS providers and 800 life support agencies in Michigan and more than 4,000 licensed life support vehicles, according to the MDHHS Division of EMS and Trauma within the Bureau of Emergency Preparedness, EMS and Systems of Care.

Governor Gretchen Whitmer announced she will be delivering tributes to 25 public safety agencies, 9-1-1 Dispatchers and Sparrow Hospital medical professionals for their critical lifesaving response to the Michigan State University shooting.
MAP-represented unit, Livingston County Sheriff's Lieutenants, is among the agencies recognized for acting to secure Michigan State’s campus and save lives while medical professionals are working to treat the five students who were injured in the Feb. 13 shooting. The public safety and medical professionals worked together in response to a gunman who opened fire at Michigan State University (MSU) killing three students and injuring five others.
"I want to thank the first responders for their swift actions to keep people safe and save lives,” Whitmer said. "Officers answered the call from hours away and put their lives on the line to secure campus and so many off-duty nurses and doctors showed up to Sparrow to volunteer that they had to turn people away. These Michiganders are the best of us and their heroism deserves recognition. Together, we will support the MSU community and tackle gun violence, which is a top public safety and public health priority. I look forward to working with our first responders and health care professionals to pursue commonsense reform and save lives.”
