What is EMS Week?
In 1974, President Gerald Ford authorized EMS Week to celebrate EMS practitioners and the important work they do in our nation's communities. National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians, (NAEMT) partners with the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) to lead annual EMS Week activities. Together, NAEMT and ACEP are working to ensure that the important contributions of EMS practitioners in safeguarding the health, safety and well being of their communities are fully celebrated and recognized.

EMS Week brings together local communities and medical personnel to honor the dedication of those who provide the day-to-day lifesaving services of medicine's "front line."  Whether celebrated with a company cookout or a catered lunch; an open house, an awards ceremony or even quiet reflection about what it means to be an EMS practitioner, EMS Week is the perfect time to recognize EMS and all that its practitioners do for our nation.
 
"Rising To The Challenge"
These words convey an incredibly powerful message about the GRVAC EMTs. We “rise to the challenge”.
Yes, being an EMT is about preparation and providing excellent patient care. But it’s also about so much more.
  • It’s about community care that takes time, energy and heart.
  • It’s far beyond the scope of everyday emergency calls.
  • It’s a responsibility to care for the residents of Glen Rock—as we treat you as if you are our grand parents, our parents, our children, our brothers, our sisters, our friends—and it doesn’t end when the shift does.
Our members do much more than respond to scenes, treat patients and deliver people to a hospitals. There is no question that when our pagers alert us of an emergency, our adrenaline gets fired up. But, perhaps more important we “Rise To The Challenge” to hold a hand or offer a shoulder to lean on. We are there when our patients are at their worst and need a friend they can count on. You are our family.
  • We provide tours of our building and demonstrate equipment to 2nd and 3rd graders. We try to make the kids aware of what we do and what they can do in the case of emergency.
  • We standby at sporting events.
  • We are at street fairs and town events.
  • We provide rehabilitation at working fires.
  • We provide mutual aid help to our neighboring towns.
  • We train, train and retrain to keep our residents safe.
  • "We Help Keep Glen Rock's Big Heart Beating".
Please take a moment to watch this video that includes some of our present members explaining why we volunteer, and the rewards we receive for doing so. Thank you for watching and taking an interest in our mission.
