Beloeil, Quebec and Van Wert, OH—Demers Ambulances, an ambulance manufacturer renowned for its intentional designs and thought leadership, is thrilled to announce its upcoming participation in Paramedic Services Week in Canada and National EMS Week in the United States. Both events will be observed from May 18 to 24, 2025.
This year, Paramedic Services Week and National EMS Week will share a unified overarching theme, "We Care. For Everyone." The theme highlights the multifaceted roles of EMS professionals in an evolving environment, from community paramedicine to preventive healthcare. Furthermore, aligning with the week's theme, each day will have a topic of focus: Health, Wellness, and Resilience on Sunday; EMS Education on Monday; EMS Safety on Tuesday; EMS for Children on Wednesday; Save-A-Life on Thursday; EMS Recognition on Friday; and EMS Remembrance on Saturday.
Scott Sawatsky, Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Demers Ambulances, expressed the company’s appreciation, stating, "The theme of this year's events, 'We Care. For Everyone,’ serves as a powerful reminder of the indispensable role prehospital emergency services play in our communities, domestically and internationally. As a proud Canadian manufacturer, we recognize the essential contributions of paramedics and fleet managers, whether they support large urban operations or smaller rural services. The alignment of Paramedic Services Week and National EMS Week underscores our shared commitment to acknowledging and celebrating these critical services."
"At Demers, we are excited to celebrate National EMS Week, honoring EMS professionals nationwide alongside their communities. These frontline heroes make an incredible daily impact, often working in high-pressure situations where every second counts. We're proud to support them by designing ambulances with their needs in mind, focusing on intentional design, innovation, and ergonomics to help them perform at their best. We aim to create vehicles that enhance their comfort, efficiency, and ability to save lives, no matter the challenge. We look forward to bringing awareness to their profession and selecting a winner for our giveaway," said Rob Eichorst, Commercial Vice President – U.S.
