4.2 EMS WeekEmergency Medical Services teams deserve our attention today.
The citizens of Salina benefit throughout the year from the
knowledge, skill, and dedication of our Emergency Medical Servic-
es specialists. Think how often we call upon them to save our
lives, to attend our injured, and to protect us from future
injury.
salina has its share of traumatic highway crashes which cause
both injury and death to our residents. It is our Emergency
Medical Services specialists who respond to our calls for help.
They work together to ensure prompt and appropriate treatment at
the scene, on the way to the hOspital, and in the emergency room.
Yet these specialists also take time to remind us of ways to
avoid injury, such as wearing safety belts, using child safety
seats, and especially remembering not to drink and drive.
Thus the Emergency Medical Services specialists in our city have
earned our appreciation and our commitment to helping them. As
residents, we can learn more about the Emergency Medical Servic-
es system, who to call in case of an emergency, and what steps
to take to prevent emergencies from happening.
THEREFORE, I, Sidney Soderberg, Mayor of Salina do hereby pro-
claim the week of september 18 through 24, 1988, as:
EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES WEEK
in Salina and I Urge all citizens to become more aware of and
show appreciation, for Salina's Emergency Medical Services spe-
cialists, and to support 'their efforts to promote safe habits,
especially on our. streets and highways.
