Statewide Awards & Table of honor
Each year, the North Dakota EMS Conference and Tradeshow Annual Awards Ceremony recognizes those individuals who have made significant contributions to the provision, development and improvement to local, regional, and state prehospital care. Recognition is a significant part of bringing public awareness and support to North Dakota's EMS system. More importantly, it is a great way to let those we work beside know they are appreciated and that their dedication is noticed.
