On the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001, ACEP recognizes the emergency physicians and first responders who rushed toward danger to help those in need, despite the chaos and uncertainty of an attack on our nation. Read ACEP President Dr. Tony Cirillo’s full statement below:
“In emergency departments and at the scene, our colleagues did what they do best, prioritizing the safety and care of others with extraordinary courage, reflecting the very best of our specialty and our nation.
We are guided and inspired by the spirit of service and unity shown by health care workers, their communities, and their families. Their example endures in every emergency physician who stands ready to provide lifesaving care, today and every day.”
