All children deserve access to high-quality care.

The Pediatric Pandemic Network aims to empower health care systems and communities to provide high-quality, equitable care to children every day and in crises.

Disaster Response Collaborative

Through resource sharing, networking, and conducting tabletop exercises and drills, the Disaster Response Collaborative enables children’s hospitals to strengthen their pediatric disaster response specific to four key areas: evacuation, reunification, surge, and triage/infection control/decontamination.

Pediatric Mentored Disaster Research Program

The overall goal of the PDRCD program is to develop a diverse pool of highly trained scientists who will address the nation’s health services, behavioral and clinical research needs in disaster science research as applied to children.
