Vermont — State Partnership

Vermont Emergency Medical Services for Children (EMSC) State Partnership Program

Jan. 1, 1989 - Present

Grant Number
H33MC06729
Project Overview
Vermont EMSC works toward three major goals: 1) to expand and improve emergency medical services for children to ensure that critically ill or injured children receive the right care at the right time, no matter where they live, play, or go to school in Vermont; 2) to collaborate with hospitals statewide to appropriately integrate pediatric services into existing pediatric medical and trauma systems and to ensure these services are supported by optimal resources; and 3) to ensure integration of the mission of the Vermont EMSC Program into state policy. The Vermont EMSC Program plans to reach these goals by working to achieve the federal EMSC performance measures (EMSC 01-09), which dictate tangible and systematic goals that aim to reduce the burden of pediatric morbidity and mortality by integrating pediatric readiness into the current system.
