Orange County EMS also provides injury prevention through a <br />variety of public education projects, including the nationally recognized "Welcome to the World" <br />home safety program, a joint initiative with the Health Department and the Orange County <br />Partnership for Young Children. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact related to approval of the proclamation. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the proclamation <br />designating the week of May 20 - 26, 2001 as Emergency Medical Services Week in Orange <br />County, in recognition of the many dedicated men and women that daily serve the citizens and <br />visitors of Orange County. <br />
