Emergency Medical Services professionals across Illinois respond to millions of calls for help each year, providing lifesaving care in communities large and small. According to the Illinois Department of Public Health, Illinois recorded more than 8.8 million 911 calls in 2025, supported by 613 ambulance providers, more than 2,727 ambulances, more than 20,000 EMTs, and over 16,000 paramedics statewide. In addition, Illinois fire departments reported more than 1 million rescue and EMS incidents annually, accounting for roughly 70 percent of all emergency responses statewide. These numbers highlight the critical role EMS personnel play every day in protecting the health, safety, and wellbeing of Illinois residents.

In 1974, President Gerald Ford authorized EMS Week™ to celebrate EMS professionals and the important work they do in our nation's communities. National Emergency Medical Services 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 frontline.
