Hospital EMTs Celebrate Emergency Medical Services Week

(Hamilton, Bermuda – 17 May 2012):

King Edward VII Memorial Hospital(KEMH) Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) will mark Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Week beginning 21 May at City Hall. They will be joined by representatives from the Police and Fire Departments and St. John’s Ambulance in hosting an Open House between 10:00am to 2:00pm. Members of the public are invited to meet first responders and view emergency vehicles from the hospital, fire service and police department.

Emergency Medical Services teams save lives in Bermuda every day. They are a vital public service and provide emergency care to those in need 24 hours a day, seven days a week. When you have a medical emergency and pick up the phone to call 911, these are the people who are first on the scene to help.

During this week we want the community to get to know the people who are ready around the clock to save their lives and to understand the demands, rewards and challenges of this kind of work.”

Bermuda Hospitals Board is proud to recognize these first responders for going above and beyond the call of duty on a daily basis to care for members of the public.

Hospital EMTs will visit secondary schools during morning assemblies next week and have invited primary and secondary school children to visit the hospital to meet with EMTs and take a tour of emergency vehicles. Community members are encouraged to stop by King Edward VII Memorial Hospital all next week to view a lobby display and information table.
