American Medical Response's annual Safety Jam event took place on Saturday, June 6, 2026, at Lake Minnequa Veterans Memorial Park. This family-friendly event, initiated in 2013, has expanded from a small gathering with two hospitals to a nationwide celebration of safety and community.
What began with a vision between St. Mary Corwin, Parkview Hospital, and AMR has now grown to host nearly 1,000 attendees and 47 exhibitors. The event offers various activities for all ages, including safety education, healthy lifestyle guidance, games, and entertainment, with free admission for everyone.
This year's Safety Jam also highlighted community dedication by honoring Josh Johnson, the emergency services coordinator for Pueblo and Pueblo County, as the "hometown hero." Johnson, a paramedic with over 15 years of experience, was recognized for his unwavering commitment to public safety and his significant role during a recent mass casualty incident.
