The American Ambulance Association annually hosts the best and brightest of EMS professionals during its Stars of Life event in Washington, D.C.
This year, 107 individuals from across the United States and Trinidad & Tobago were honored. The program pays tribute to the dedication of these heroes while shining light on the critical role EMS plays in our healthcare infrastructure.
