1. 2026 EMS Proclamation

Regular Board of County Commissioners Meeting · 2026-05-05 · agenda_item

The Board of County Commissioners of Highlands County is considering a proclamation to recognize May 17-23, 2026, as "Emergency Medical Services Week." This proclamation honors the vital public service provided by EMS teams, acknowledging their 24/7 readiness, lifesaving care, and role in filling healthcare gaps. The week's theme is "Improving Outcomes, Together." This item is currently under review by the Board. While this is a proclamation and does not involve direct construction or service contracts, it highlights the importance of EMS professionals and the services they provide. Businesses that support the EMS field, such as those providing medical supplies, training, or related administrative services, may find opportunities to engage with county initiatives or providers during this recognition period. Early awareness of such proclamations can help businesses align their services with community recognition events.
