Medix Ambulances Expands EMS Week Celebrations to Honor More First Responders

During EMS Week from May 17-23, 2026, Medix Ambulances will promote daily $100 giveaways designed to reach and recognize more first responders across America

May 12, 2026 – Elkhart, Indiana: Medix Ambulances, a leader in dependable ambulance manufacturing, is taking a new approach to EMS Week, celebrated May 17-23, 2026, with daily giveaways designed to give back to even more first responders. This year’s theme, “Improving Outcomes, Together,” highlights the shared responsibility of advancing patient care and supporting the people behind it.

Recognized nationwide and coordinated by leading organizations in emergency care, EMS Week is dedicated to honoring the commitment, skill, and impact of EMS professionals who serve on the front lines every day. It’s a time to reflect on the role EMS plays in the healthcare system—from rapid response and lifesaving interventions to providing comfort and reassurance during some of life’s most critical moments. These efforts help improve outcomes not just in the field, but for families and communities long after the call is over.

To support this year’s theme, Medix hopes to reach more first responders with a refreshed giveback initiative. From Monday through Friday, Medix will post a daily poll question tied to EMS Week’s daily themes. Participants can enter by commenting on the original post, with one winner randomly selected each day to receive a $100 Amazon gift card. Winners will be drawn and announced the following day.

“EMS Week is about recognizing the people who show up when it counts,” said Scott Cummings, Director of Sales at Medix Specialty Vehicles. “This year, we wanted to keep it simple and reach more folks directly. It’s our way of saying thanks and staying connected to the people we build for every day.”

This updated approach reflects Medix’s relationship-driven mindset and commitment to the EMS community. By spreading the giveaways across the week, Medix aims to create more opportunities to connect with and give back to a broader group of first responders.

Medix encourages first responders across the country to join the conversation and participate throughout the week by following along on social media at facebook.com/MedixAmbulances.

Giveaway Disclaimer: Entries close at 11:59 PM EST daily. Winners will be announced the following day in the comments and must submit their email to redeem the prize. Open to U.S. residents 18+. No purchase necessary. Void where prohibited. This promotion is not sponsored, administered by, or associated with Amazon or this platform. Be aware of scammers—Medix will never ask participants to click links in the comments. By participating, entrants agree to these terms and conditions.
