Overview

Every child deserves safe, high-quality emergency care. Because children have unique medical needs, the Alaska EMS for Children Pediatric Facility Recognition Program (FRP) was created as a voluntary way to recognize hospitals that are committed to being ready for pediatric emergencies.

The FRP celebrates facilities that have the right pediatric equipment, medications, training, and protocols in place to support children who are seriously ill or injured.

Alaska’s Recognized Pediatric Emergency Care Facilities:

  • Alaska Native Medical Center (comprehensive)
  • Fairbanks Memorial Hospital (general)
  • Maniilaq Health Center
  • Providence Alaska Medical Center (comprehensive)
  • Wrangell Medical Center 

Who qualifies?

All Alaska emergency departments are eligible to apply for the voluntary recognition. 

How to sign up

Alaska facilities interested in this voluntary recognition can contact the EMSC program for an application package and access the pediatric readiness checklist and toolkit through the EMSC Innovation & Improvement Center to support the application process
