U.S. Army Honor Guard to Lead Special Celebration in Honor of EMS Workers and WWI Veteran Dr. Frank Boston


An EMS Week celebration will be held to recognize all EMS workers and in particular to honor the historic legacy of Dr. Frank E. Boston, veteran, physician and the first African-American to start both a hospital and ambulance corps.


DATE:


TIME:

Friday, May 20, 2022 


noon


LOCATION:

World War I Memorial (Former Pershing Park)

Pennsylvania Avenue, NW between 14th Street NW and 15th Street NW

(Across from the White House Visitor Center)



DETAILS:

EMS Week is held May 16-22. It is a particularly special time to thank paramedics, EMTs and the entire Emergency Medical Services workforce for their service and sacrifices, and to recognize the historic legacy of Dr. Frank E. Boston.


Dr. Boston was a World War I veteran, doctor and surgeon, who served in France with the 92nd Division (Buffalo Soldiers). Following his return to Pennsylvania, he went on to start the First Aid Emergency Squad (now the Volunteer Medical Service Corp.), and Elm Terrace Hospital (now Jefferson Lansdale Hospital, part of Jefferson Health). The ambulance corp. and hospital, both located in Lansdale, PA, continue to serve their communities to this day - almost 100 years later.  


Event participants include:

  • United States Army Honor Guard

  • The Washington Scottish Pipe Band (St. Andrew's Society of Washington DC Pipe Band) 

  • Deputy Chief Michael Knight, Washington DC Fire & EMS

  • Gamunu Wijetunge, Director, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Office of Emergency Medical Services

  • Shane Wheeler, Volunteer Medical Services Corp.

  • George Whitehair, Dr. Boston Researcher

  • Khoi Pham, Marvel Illustrator

  • Dr. Alvin Wang, Chief Medical Officer & Regional EMS Medical Director

  • Kristy Van Hoven, Director, National EMS Museum & Authentic Scottish Dance Performer
