Senate Resolution No. 144

BY: Senator GALLIVAN

 MEMORIALIZING Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim
 May 19-25, 2025, as Emergency Medical Services Week
 in the State of New York

 WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body that those who
give outstanding service to the people of this Empire State and whose
extraordinary achievements save lives, so profoundly strengthen our
shared commitment to family and community life; and

 WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is justly proud to memorialize
Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 19-25, 2025, as Emergency Medical
Services Week in the State of New York, in conjunction with the
observance of National EMS Week; and

 WHEREAS, National Emergency Medical Services Week brings together
local communities and medical personnel to publicize safety, honor and
dedication of those who provide the day-to-day lifesaving services of
medicine's "front line"; and

 WHEREAS, Emergency Medical Services are an important part of the
continuum of healthcare; and

 WHEREAS, The members of emergency medical services teams are ready
to provide lifesaving care to those in need 24 hours a day, seven days a
week; and

 WHEREAS, Access to quality emergency care dramatically improves the
survival and recovery rate of those who experience sudden illness or
injury; and

 WHEREAS, The emergency medical services system consists of
physicians, nurses, emergency medical technicians, paramedics,
firefighters, law enforcement officers, dispatchers, medical volunteers,
and others; and

 WHEREAS, The members of emergency medical services teams, whether
career or volunteer, engage in thousands of hours of specialized
training and continuing education to enhance their lifesaving skills;
and

 WHEREAS, The residents of the State of New York benefit daily from
the knowledge and skills of these highly trained individuals; and

 WHEREAS, The Emergency Medical Services system provides valuable
service to the community and is the vital link between the patient and
other healthcare providers; and

 WHEREAS, Approximately 2.8 million calls are handled by Emergency
Medical Services providers each year in New York State; and

 WHEREAS, More than 50,000 dedicated Emergency Medical Services
providers, whether volunteer or career, respond 24 hours a day to calls
for emergency care throughout the community; and

 WHEREAS, Americans benefit daily from the knowledge and skills of
these highly trained individuals; and

 WHEREAS, Injury prevention and the appropriate use of the Emergency
Medical Services system will help reduce national healthcare costs; and

 WHEREAS, A great community is only as great as those persons and
organizations that provide exemplary service, whether through
participation in voluntary programs, through unique personal achievement
in their profession or other endeavors, or simply through a lifetime of
good citizenry; and

 WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body that when
organizations and individuals of such noble aims and accomplishments are
brought to our attention, they should be celebrated and recognized by
all the citizens of this great Empire State; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 19-25, 2025, as
Emergency Medical Services Week in the State of New York; and be it
further

 RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to The Honorable Kathy Hochul, Governor of the State of New
York.
