From paramedics and emergency medical technicians to fire fighters and police, they're the folks on the front lines of saving lives.
It's not just a job; it's a calling. That's the message that JFK Medical Center in Edison is sending during National Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Week, an event dedicated to recognizing the jobs that EMS workers of all stripes do in saving lives. EMS Week is May 20 to 26 this year, and the theme, "EMS: More Than A Job. A Calling", honors those community members who provide day-to-day, “front-line” lifesaving services - from paramedics and emergency medical technicians to fire fighters and police.

Local officials and well-wishers showed up Tuesday to applaud the opening of a new pediatric ER at JFK Medical Center.
Under a rainbow of balloons and an ocean of smiles, officials of JFK Medical Center and the local area were present Thursday at a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the facility's brand new pediatric emergency department.
