About Stars of Life
Every year AMR sends some of its best and brightest caregivers to the American Ambulance Association’s Stars of Life award ceremony in Washington, D.C. The Stars of Life award recognizes and celebrates the achievements of individuals working in the ambulance industry. It is the highest award an EMS caregiver can receive.
Paramedics, EMTs, communications center employees and other front-line staff may be nominated as a Star of Life. During their time in the nation’s capital, Stars of Life recipients meet with members of Congress on Capital Hill where they have the opportunity to speak with their representatives and senators about the importance of maintaining quality ambulance service in our nation’s communities.
AMR’s Stars of Life recipients are chosen based on their demonstrated commitment to AMR’s vision and core values, significant accomplishments during the previous year, their ability to represent AMR in public venues such as congressional visits, local media opportunities and speaking events, and their demonstrated ability to work as a team member.
