Star of Life Symbol - Emergency Medical Services Icon #3895548 (License: Personal Use)

This iconic emblem consists of a blue six-pointed star outlined in white, with a white caduceus centered vertically. The caduceus-often mistaken for the Rod of Asclepius-symbolizes healing and medicine, while the six points represent the six functions of EMS: detection, reporting, response, on-scene care, care in transit, and transfer to definitive care. It was adopted by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in 1973 and is now globally recognized.

Used on ambulances, EMS uniforms, signage, and official documentation to denote emergency medical services; ideal for healthcare websites, public safety portals, and educational content about first responders.
