Who We Are

Our Mission

LANREMT is proud to take the lead in organizing a fund raising event whose purpose is to raise awareness of our fallen members and ensure that their sacrifice and contribution is never forgotten.

We honor Emergency Medical Services personnel by organizing and implementing long distance cycling events that memorialize and celebrate the lives of those who serve everyday, those who have become sick or injured while performing their duties, and those who have died in the line of duty.

Extraordinary Heroes

Each year, dedicated members of the Louisiana EMS community go out into our communities to provide care for those in need during times of crisis.  Some of our members do this directly by intervening during a patient’s medical emergency.  Some of our members do this indirectly by teaching others to provide care or get involved in the development of EMS systems throughout our State.

Unfortunately, some of these professionals are victims of an untimely death.  Whether the loss of our heroes was due to a line of duty death or an untimely death due to illness, the impact from the loss within our profession is no less dramatic.

Our Core Values

It is our hope that these events will focus attention on the accomplishments of all EMS personnel, and educate the community at large about the need for improved safety standards, injury prevention, disability tracking and death benefits for EMS personnel and their families.

• Remember EMS workers who have died in the line of duty
• Raise public awareness about line of duty deaths and disabilities in the EMS profession
