The AAA's website states that its mission is "to promote health care policies that ensure excellence in the ambulance services industry and provide research, education and communications programs to enable its members to effectively address the needs of the communities they serve."[2] As part of this mission, the AAA manages the "Stars of Life" program, an annual awards program that recognizes "ambulance professionals who have gone above and beyond the call of duty in service to their communities or the EMS profession."[3] In 2015, the AAA issued its first recommendations for diversity and intercultural communication, noting that the primarily white, male, English-speaking EMS workforce underserved some population sectors.[4] The AAA holds an annual conference and awards dinner, where it gives annual awards such as the Patient and Employee Safety award to ambulance companies.[5] Another award is the Star of Life award. In March 2017, an ambulance was hit by a Jeep Cherokee in Mississippi, nearly killing a paramedic. Paramedic Jimmy Miller was awarded the AAA Star of Life award for outstanding service after surviving the wreck, which should have killed him.[6] References1. ^{{cite web |url=https://ambulance.org/our-mission/ |title=American Ambulance Association: Our Mission |last=American Ambulance Association |first= |date= |website=ambulance.org |publisher=American Ambulance Association |access-date=May 16, 2018 |quote=}} 2. ^{{cite web |url=https://ambulance.org/our-mission/ |title=American Ambulance Association: Our Mission |last=American Ambulance Association |first= |date= |website=ambulance.org |publisher=American Ambulance Association |access-date=May 16, 2018 |quote=}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=https://stars.ambulance.org/ |title=Stars of Life 2018: American Ambulance Association |last=American Ambulance Association |first= |date= |website=ambulance.org |publisher=American Ambulance Association |access-date=May 16, 2018 |quote=}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/24/nyregion/a-brooklyn-ambulance-service-speaks-chinese-like-its-patients.html |title=A Brooklyn Ambulance Service Speaks Chinese, Like Its Patients |last=Nir |first=Sarah Maslin |date=May 23, 2016 |website=nytimes.com |publisher=The New York Times |access-date=May 16, 2018 |quote=In New York and around the country, emergency responders have historically been white and male, said Scott Moore, a human resources and operations consultant with the American Ambulance Association, a national trade organization, and an emergency medical technician for 26 years.
