June 1–7 is CPR & AED Awareness Week.

About 70% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happen in homes. If someone you love collapses, you could be the difference between life and death.

CPR, especially if performed immediately, can double or triple a person’s chance of survival.

Learn Hands-Only CPR in 2 simple steps:
✅ Call 911
✅ Push hard and fast in the center of the chest

Be ready. Be a lifesaver. What if it were them?

What is EMS week? EMS week is a week in May that is dedicated to honoring and recognizing the men and women who provide emergency medical care. Authorized by Pres Gerald Ford in 1974, this week is set aside specifically for EMS. We are seeking businesses and individuals who are interested in donating or sponsoring a day for our crews.
This year, we are also looking to GIVE BACK to our community by holding a classes that are open to the public, and could save a life. Please share this info, and consider joining us!

UPCOMING WEBINAR ANNOUNCEMENT:

Most EMS agencies are underpriced. The real question is… how far off are you?

Ambulance services are facing increasing financial pressure as costs continue to rise and reimbursement grows more complex.

PWW|AG is proud to partner with AIMHI Academy of International Mobile Healthcare Integration, with the support of the AIMHI Reimbursement Committee, to bring those insights forward in an upcoming webinar:

Ambulance Economics in Crisis: Costs, Rates, and Reimbursement

Led by EMS & Mobile Healthcare Consultant Ryan Stark and Matt Zavadsky, this session will break down national cost and revenue trends, the risks of underpricing, and key considerations shaping reimbursement and fee strategy today.

This is the same work PWW|AG is doing with agencies across the country, helping organizations better understand their true cost of service and identify opportunities to strengthen financial performance.

📅 April 30, 2026
🕘 10:00 a.m. ET

If you’re responsible for financial strategy, reimbursement, or policy, this is a conversation you should not miss.
