EMS Week 2026: Improving Outcomes, Together 💙🚑

What a week it has been! EMS Week 2026 has officially come to a close, and we are walking away with full hearts, lasting memories, and an even stronger appreciation for the incredible people behind the badge.

This week was filled with fun, laughter, games, gifts, good food, and time spent together as a team. More importantly, it was a time to pause, reflect on the challenges and successes of the past year, and look ahead to the future of serving our community together.

We are incredibly thankful for the visitors who stopped by, the messages of support, the donated meals and gifts, and the continued trust from the community we are honored to serve every single day.

To our crews — thank you for showing up, caring deeply, and making a difference when it matters most.

Enjoy some highlights from our EMS Week celebration! 📸🎉

Thank you WMBB News 13 for the wonderful story on our GMR Therapy Dog Team Langley 🐾💚🐾💚

First responders are exposed to traumatic events on a daily basis. They say it can be difficult to calm down after facing high-pressure situations.

That’s where a 20-month-old Golden Doodle named Langley comes in.

EMS Week is officially underway, and this year’s theme — Improving Outcomes, Together — could not be more fitting for the incredible team serving the community in Bay County every single day.

As the new Operation Manager, I’ve had the opportunity to see firsthand the dedication, compassion, and professionalism this crew brings to the people of Panama City and Bay County. No matter the task asked of them, whether it’s transporting your loved one, moving our office, or assembling the next thing I have bought and it came with “some assembly required” instructions — this team steps forwards and shines.

EMS Week gives us a chance to pause and recognize our frontline crews. It’s a week focused on the people who make this profession what it is. It’s also a time when we come together, strengthen bonds, laugh a little, and create memories that last long after the week is over.

I’m incredibly thankful for this group of professionals. They work hard, care deeply, and make the challenging parts of this job easier through teamwork and commitment to one another.

This week, we’re continuing the fun with games and activities for our crews. So if you see our teams out in the community taking funny photos — don’t worry, they’ve been sent on a photo scavenger hunt! They’re also participating in EMS Week Bingo centered around our Core Values.

We’d also love for the community to join us for our Open House this Friday, where the Blood Bus will be onsite for a community blood drive. Stop by, say hello, and celebrate EMS Week with us.

To Bay County — thank you for trusting us and allowing us to serve this community for nearly 15 years. It is an honor we never take for granted. 💙

Big things are rolling across the region! 🚑💪
