children
seek emergency care each year
Children have unique physiological and developmental characteristics, making them particularly vulnerable in emergencies, disasters, and global health threats. Too often, though, disaster preparedness and response efforts overlook children’s needs.
The solution: A collaborative approach, led by children’s hospitals.
Through PPN, children’s hospitals serve as regional hubs for improving care for all children in pandemics, disasters, and every day.
PPN’s hospitals work with regional and national programs, academic institutions, community organizations, and individual experts to share pediatric-related information, educational resources, and best practices.
