The Colorado Senate observed EMS Day at the Capitol on Feb. 10, 2026. Senator Roberts read a formal recognition praising emergency medical technicians and paramedics for their statewide service and invited attendees to a reception at the University Club.
Roberts emphasized the essential, time-sensitive nature of EMS work and said the system remains fragile in some areas, urging continued support for providers. The Senate gave the gathered EMS professionals a round of applause.
