    Honoring the commitment and care of emergency medical services 
                               personnel.

Whereas emergency medical services personnel deliver care to patients in times 
        of critical need;
Whereas emergency medical services personnel are essential to ensuring effective 
        health care outcomes for patients;
Whereas emergency medical services teams give immediate treatment to trauma and 
        other critically ill patients, stabilize them, and transport them to an 
        appropriate level of care;
Whereas emergency medical technicians and paramedics work in ground and air 
        ambulances, often traveling long distances to reach patients and to help 
        them obtain needed care;
Whereas emergency medical services personnel cover territory in rural and 
        underserved areas that otherwise might not have access to care;
Whereas emergency medical services personnel answer the call 24 hours a day, 7 
        days a week;
Whereas emergency medical services personnel and other first responders often 
        place themselves in harm's way to protect and care for others in their 
        time of need; and
Whereas the week of May 19 to 25, 2024, has been designated as Emergency Medical 
        Services Week to recognize the contributions of the emergency medical 
        services community: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) honors the commitment and care of emergency medical 
        services personnel;
            (2) recognizes the importance of their role in our local 
        communities; and
            (3) expresses appreciation for their dedication to 
        delivering necessary health care to patients across the United 
        States.
