          (Rodriguez) - As Amended April 22, 2015


          SUBJECT:  Emergency Medical Services Week.


          SUMMARY:  Proclaims the week of May 17, 2015, to May 23, 2015,  
          inclusive, as Emergency Medical Services Week.  Specifically,  
          this resolution makes the following legislative findings:


          1)It is estimated that there are over 840,000 emergency medical  
            services personnel in the United States, including over 80,000  
            in the State of California.

          2)Emergency medical services systems consist of emergency  
            physicians, emergency nurses, emergency medical technicians,  
            paramedics, firefighters, educators, administrators, and  
            others who engage in thousands of hours of specialized  
            training and continuing education to enhance their lifesaving  
            skills.

          3)Access to quality emergency medical care dramatically improves  
            the survival and recovery rates of those who experience sudden  
            illness or injury.

          4)This is the 41st anniversary of National Emergency Medical  
            Services Week; and, the theme of EMS Week is "EMS STRONG."
