EMS Week 2026 | Improving Outcomes Together

This week, we honor the EMS providers who serve our communities every day.

EMS Week highlights the dedication, teamwork, and commitment shown by those who provide care when it matters most.

Thank you to all EMS providers for your hard work, professionalism, and dedication to the patients and communities you serve.

Over the past 40 years, I have had a front-row seat to the tremendous changes in emergency medical services and the way our profession has evolved.

Many people still think EMS is simply about transportation, getting a patient from point A to point B. But what we do is far more than that. It is about readiness and access. Access to life saving healthcare when minutes matter, access to advanced medicine outside the walls of a hospital, and access to hope for families facing some of the most difficult moments of their lives.

After decades of progress and innovation, one thing is clear to me: Metro Atlanta Ambulance has been at the tip of the spear, introducing new innovations that have saved lives and helped change our profession for the better. I also know the work is not finished and that EMS will play a significant role in proving access to care.

The most important chapters for Metro Atlanta Ambulance Service, and for the future of emergency medical care in our state, are still ahead.

Shout-out to EMT Willie Holmes. A team member shared the following:

“I would like to recognize Willie Holmes for his dedication and dependability to MAAS. He consistently fills open shifts across North Georgia, washes units in challenging conditions, and sacrifices his own time to ensure equipment is returned and ready for service. This is leadership by example when no one else is looking.”
