Advancing the EMS profession

EMS On The Hill Day

Join us for EMS On The Hill Day 2025, the annual event brings together EMS professionals from around the country to Washington, D.C., to advocate on behalf of our profession, patients and the communities we serve.

  • Thursday, April 2-3, 2025 – Hilton Arlington National Landing in Arlington, VA and on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C.

REGISTRATION OPENS ON FRIDAY, NOV. 22
Now more than ever, it is crucial for the voice of EMS to reach members of Congress in order to promote vital legislation for EMS. In 2025, top priorities will include Treat-in-Place (TIP) focusing on payment for service payment rather than transport, reimbursement, drug shortages, workforce shortages, and rural EMS concerns. Please share the dates for Hill Day and emphasize the critical timing for our issues to be heard. All EMS professionals are invited to attend and support service EMS in their communities. Our goal is to have in representation from every state.

Join us on Capitol Hill to visit with congressional leaders and staff to help them understand the needs of EMS in our communities and states. Whether you are new to grassroots advocacy and EMS On The Hill Day or a seasoned veteran, we need you to educate your Members of Congress on the needs of your patients and communities.
