Senate Resolution No. by Senator Boudreaux designates the week of May 18-24, 2025, as Emergency Medical Services Week in Louisiana.

For Everyone." for the week. The resolution emphasizes the critical role that emergency medical services (EMS) play in the healthcare system, providing essential, lifesaving care around the clock and improving survival rates for those experiencing sudden medical emergencies.
The resolution acknowledges the diverse members of the EMS community, including emergency medical responders, technicians, paramedics, and other healthcare professionals, who undergo extensive training to deliver high-quality care. By designating this week, the Senate encourages the citizens of Louisiana to participate in activities and programs that honor and recognize the contributions of EMS providers, both career and volunteer, in their communities.
