Supporting the expansion and improvement of emergency care to children who need treatment for severe illness and injury
Who we are
The Alaska State Partnership Emergency Medical Services for Children (EMSC) Program is a federally funded initiative committed to the improvement of emergency care to children who need treatment for severe illness and injury.
What we do

- Collect and analyze pediatric emergency care coordination data utilizing the EMSC Data Center
- Increase pediatric training and education opportunities for emergency care providers
- Ensure hospital and agency disaster plans address the needs of children
- Recognize hospitals and prehospital EMS agencies for the pediatric emergency care coordination efforts
- Connect people from maternal, family, and child programs to speak out for children's emergency care needs
