RESOLUTION North Carolina has developed one of the finest Emergency Medical Services (EMS) programs in the nation since it was created by the General Assembly in 1973. The progress and growth of EMS has resulted in better equipped and designed ambulances, improved personnel training, more efficient emergency departments, and simplified public access. All North Carolinians can be proud of our emergency medical system which provide life- saving treatment and care 24 hours a day. This is made possible by the dedi- cated team effort of emergency medical technicians, paramedics, emergency department physicians and nurses who received specialized training to respond quickly and effi- ciently to emergencies. Thousands of citizens volunteer their time to provide this invaluable service. In addition, many North Carolinians have been trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitatio (CPR) in order to help others during a medical emergency. To recognize and honor this dedication and service, we set aside a special period to observe this great contribution to our people and state. Now, Therefore, we the Harnett County Board of Commissioners, do hereby proclaim the period beginning September 21 through September 27, 1986, as "Emergency Medical Services Week" in Harnett County, and dedicate this observance to those individuals whose tireless and selfless efforts provide critical lifesaving medical care to our citizens. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the Seal of the County of Harnett this Second Day of September, Nineteen Hundred and Eighty -Six.
