LITTLE ROCK — Arkansas Secretary of State John Thurston would like to invite visitors to the State Capitol to view the recently installed fourth floor exhibit, EMS in Arkansas: From Saving Lives to Saving History.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of National EMS Week (observed May 19-25, 2024), honoring our emergency medical services workers. This year’s theme was “Honoring Our Past, Forging Our Future.”
All of the state’s EMS agencies have compelling stories to tell, but there is no comprehensive and inclusive story about EMS in Arkansas. This exhibit is not intended to be a comprehensive story, but a starting point to build that story together.
EMS in Arkansas: From Saving Lives to Saving History is the first in a series of three exhibits and is on display in the fourth floor exhibit space of the Arkansas State Capitol now through June 28th, 2024.
