EMS Week

EMS Week

Reflection

“At times, in medicine, you feel you are inside a colossal and impossibly complex machine. . . . The notion that human caring, the effort to do better for people, might make a difference can seem hopelessly naive. But it isn’t.” –Atul Gawande

Prayer

Loving God,

We are often inspired by the good work performed by those who serve faithfully in emergency medical services. Yet this week in particular, we lift them up to you and ask you to bless them with an extra boost in their step, conscious of the way their compassionate care makes such a difference, for people in need and all across our communities. Despite the complexities and challenges they face, may they continue to bring their hearts into the service they provide, and may we continue to champion them, as colleagues and partners in your healing mission today. Amen.
