Brave. Dedicated. Willing. Reliable. These words describe 78,000 licensed or certified EMS providers in California. They demonstrate these qualities every day by coming to the aid of others when they are most in need and working to ensure that the EMS system works well. But each year, due to circumstance or extraordinary effort, certain individuals among us shine. The EMS Authority seeks to recognize those individuals through California Emergency Medical Services Awards Program.
Various levels of personnel comprise the EMS system and an array of categories was created to include them all. The award categories are:
Individual Awards
Statewide EMS System Awards
Individual Achievement Recognition
In addition to the specific categories mentioned above, the EMS Authority may also present certificates of recognition, appreciation, or other awards as dictated by particular circumstances.
