Santa Rosa County honors first responders during EMS week

Santa Rosa County Board of County Commissioners is honoring National Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Week, May 21 through 27, and presented the men and women of Lifeguard Ambulance Service with a proclamation at their May 22 committee meeting to ensure their important contributions in safeguarding our county’s health, safety and well-being are fully recognized. 
Lifeguard Ambulance Service has provided unsubsidized EMS services for Santa Rosa County since August 2007. Emergency medical responders save lives by providing both basic and advanced medical care at the scene of an emergency and en route to a hospital. They show compassion to their patients in their most difficult moments. “EMS Strong: Always in Service” is certainly a fitting theme of EMS Week 2017.
