Star of Life Symbol - EMS Emergency Medical Services Icon #2058525 (License: Personal Use)

This image displays the Star of Life, a six-pointed red star adopted by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in 1973 as the official symbol for EMS. At its center is the Rod of Asclepius-a serpent-entwined staff-representing healing and medicine. The six points denote the six functions of EMS: detection, reporting, response, on-scene care, care in transit, and transfer to definitive care.
