Star of Life Symbol - Official EMS Medical Emergency Emblem #7528 (License: Personal Use)

This image displays the Star of Life, a six-pointed red star outlined in white, with the Rod of Asclepius-a serpent-entwined staff-at its center. Designed by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in 1973, it signifies emergency medical services and is used on ambulances, first responder gear, and official documentation. Each point represents a core function of EMS: detection, reporting, response, on-scene care, care in transit, and transfer to definitive care.

Used on emergency vehicles, medical personnel uniforms, signage, training materials, and government health websites; matches user intent for identifying EMS symbols, understanding medical iconography, or sourcing official imagery for healthcare or safety content.
