Star of Life Symbol - Official EMS Medical Emblem #95600 (License: Personal Use)

This image displays the Star of Life, the official emblem of emergency medical services (EMS), adopted by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in 1973. Its six points symbolize the six stages of EMS response: detection, reporting, response, on-scene care, care in transit, and transfer to definitive care. The central Rod of Asclepius-a serpent-entwined staff-represents healing and medicine.

Used on ambulances, EMS uniforms, training materials, and official documentation to denote authorized emergency medical personnel and services; matches user intent for identifying or learning about EMS symbols, medical insignia, or first responder branding.
