May 13, 2025 – Van Wert, Ohio: — Braun Ambulances, a leading manufacturer of custom-built ambulances, is proud to participate in EMS Week 2025, taking place May 18–24, to recognize and celebrate the unwavering dedication of emergency medical services professionals across the country. This year marks the 51st anniversary of EMS Week, presented by the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) in partnership with the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT). The theme, “We Care. For Everyone.”, underscores the inclusive, compassionate care that EMS professionals provide every day.

“EMS professionals are the heartbeat of emergency response in our communities,” said Kris Turner, Channel Development Director, U.S. “At Braun, we don’t just build ambulances—we build life-saving tools that are made to protect those who serve. EMS Week is an important opportunity to say thank you, and we’re excited to give back to the crews who give so much to their communities.”
