Title
EMSC National Resource Center
Description
The Emergency Medical Services for Children Program is a national initiative designed to reduce child and youth disability and death due to severe illness and injury. Medical personnel, parents and volunteers, community groups and businesses, and national organizations and foundations all contribute to the effort. HRSA administers the program in partnership with the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
EMSC grants fund States and U.S. Territories to improve existing emergency medical services (EMS) systems and to develop and evaluate improved procedures and protocols for treating children. The EMSC program is the only federal program that focuses specifically on improving the quality of children's emergency care. All States, U.S. Territories, and the District of Columbia have received federal funding. Currently, only State governments and accredited schools of medicine are eligible to receive EMSC grants.
Since its establishment in 1984, the EMSC program has improved the availability of child-appropriate equipment in ambulances and emergency departments. It has initiated hundreds of programs to prevent injuries, and has provided thousands of hours of training to EMTs, paramedics and other emergency medical care providers.
