Thank you to all EMT's and Paramedics in Hancock and surrounding counties for being there when we need them and training to keep up to date on current procedures. What would the county do if they didn't exist? Thank you from the Hancock County Firefighter's Association.

NHTSA’s Office of EMS proudly supports our nation’s EMS clinicians and recognizes their dedication to life-saving work on the nation’s roadways and throughout our communities. Every day, and especially during EMS Week – Sunday, May 17, to Saturday, May 23, 2026 – we honor the entire EMS profession for all you do to protect our health and safety.

This year’s theme, “Improving Outcomes, Together,” is an opportunity to focus on the many ways EMS professionals work together and across disciplines—with 911, healthcare, public health, fire service, law enforcement, and others—in the best interests of patients.
