Chatham Emergency Services will celebrate National EMS Awareness Week during the week of May 21 to May 25. Various events and activities are planned throughout the week to highlight the service of over 230 EMS first responders who work with Chatham Emergency Services. 

“I know firsthand what a commitment it is to work in the first responder industry,” notes Chatham Emergency Services CEO Chuck Kearns. “I have served multiple communities during my 43-year career and am proud to be a part of the Chatham Emergency Services team. I have worked with various teams and boards – and I can say that our crews and community board are some of the most dedicated and service-oriented professionals and volunteers I have ever encountered.” 

Various community organizations are honoring the first responders this week including Memorial Health University Medical Center, St. Joseph’s/Candler Health System, Inc., Donato’s, and the Stop the Bleed Campaign. Chatham Emergency Services also has several additional events planned for team building and appreciation.
