To All Central Arizona EMS and Trauma Colleagues
RE: Call for Nominations – 2010 Aces of Hearts – EMS/Trauma Recognition Awards
AEMS is pleased to annually coordinate and sponsor a recognition program that honors EMS and Trauma professionals and volunteers serving Central Arizona. This year marks AEMS ninth year in recognizing those who have provided outstanding contributions that enhance and improve emergency medical care.
We are committed to enhancing and expanding the participation and ownership of this process as well as fostering more inclusive recognition. For this reason, we are returning to an OPEN nomination process - where any healthcare professional may nominate a colleague who is an EMS/Trauma professional serving the Central Arizona Region.
The NEW process will works as follows. All nominations will be submitted to and collected by AEMS. AEMS will then organize all the nomination forms by agency/hospital. AEMS will identify and work with a primary contact person at the agency/hospital who will be responsible for selecting one final candidate from the *nominations received (*of individuals who work at their agency/hospital). While only the final recipients will actually receive the Aces of Hearts Award, ALL nominees will be acknowledged for their good work.
All Arizona healthcare professionals (aka the nominators) are encouraged and eligible to submit one nomination form with one nominee. The nominee must provide EMS or Trauma service in the Central Arizona region and may be either paid professionals or volunteers. The recipients of the Aces of Heart Award will receive a special recognition honor during the 10th Annual EMS Odyssey Conference held June 3-4, 2010. All nominees will receive a special acknowledgement for their service.
To nominate a colleague, complete the nomination form at:

The nomination form MUST be completed by February 28th.
Note: the words described in your statement may be used as part of the awards ceremony.
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation and assistance with helping AEMS identifying the 2010 Aces of Hearts.
