Op-Ed: EMS Week Has Whole New Meaning

From Westchester County Executive George Latimer

Every year during EMS Week, local communities come together to honor the selfless dedication of our medical personnel, who provide life-saving services to our residents each and every day.

This year EMS Week has taken on a whole new meaning, as we recognize that Westchester County’s EMS professionals are on the frontlines of the COVID-19 crisis.

Throughout the pandemic, our EMS workers have planned, adapted and responded to this constantly evolving contagion, making sure they were able to deliver necessary care to our communities in the safest way possible.

Now more than ever it is crucial that we celebrate our EMS professionals, and thank them for their continued efforts to support the health and well-being of Westchester County.
