Right Care When it Counts Awards
The Maryland EMS for Children program recognizes children and youth in Maryland who have demonstrated Steps to Take in an Emergency or Ways to be Better Prepared for an Emergency. Actions taking place January 1 through December 31 each year are eligible for nomination. We recognize children and youth who acted so that others would receive “The Right Care When It Counts.” Each nominee receives a patch and certificate and be eligible for a state award at a ceremony during EMS Week.
