Star of Life Symbol - EMS Medical Emergency Icon #95663 (License: Personal Use)

This image displays the Star of Life-a six-pointed blue star outlined in white, with a central white Rod of Asclepius (a serpent-entwined staff). Adopted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in 1973, it signifies EMS personnel, vehicles, and facilities. Each point of the star represents a phase in the EMS response chain: detection, reporting, response, on-scene care, care in transit, and transfer to definitive care.

Used on ambulances, EMS uniforms, signage, training materials, and digital interfaces to denote emergency medical services; matches user intent for identifying or learning about EMS symbols, medical icons, or public safety branding.
