Throwback Thursday: The Star of Life symbol was originally used by the NHTSA and was patented on February 1, 1977. The six points of the star each have meaning: Detection, Reporting, Response, On Scene Care, Care in Transit and Transfer to Definitive Care.
Thank you ma'am, for your service to your country and the commonwealth. Your brief service in the #ambulance corps has inspired generations. Thoughts to your family at this difficult time. #ems#QueenElizabeth

We love #vintage ambulance art here at The National EMS Museum. Like this example off an old matchbook cover from the Salinas (CA) Yellow Cab Company. Apparently, they provided emergency #ambulance service - as well as transfers - back in the day. #fridayfinds#ems#taxi

Throwback Thursday: Many EMS providers wear utility/duty belts like this one. Others take a more minimalist approach. It's a personal preference. Do you wear one? If so, what do you carry on it? #emscss#commitmentservicesacrifice
So many out and abouts this week! TOM is at @PinnacleEMS with the debut of a new exhibit, Kristy & Jon had some important discussions with potential partners in #michigan@MiAmbulance@FordHouse Fred is working hard on getting #EMSHistorian to print. Taking summer by storm!
A major THANK YOU to Cindy Elbert of @ambulanceins for her very generous donation pledge to NEMSM! Donations like hers keep us going in 2 ways. Financially & "spritually." It means a lot to us when someone shows support for what we're doing to tell the story of #EMS Thanks Cindy!
Current history and the #ems provider experience. Gosh we need to make some changes so we all stay happy and healthy way into the future! #ambulance#emt#firstresponder#paramedic
We need some help w/ our exhibit on Hi Perform EMS. We want to make a collage of current teams/rigs. If you can shoot a pic of your rig/team in landscape & as high res as you can. We have till noon to get to the printer! (Shout out to VMSC EMS for modeling #throwbacktuesday#ems)
