Project Overview
Pennsylvania will utilize the results of the statewide assessment of 2017 through a collaboration of work with the EMS for Children Innovation and Improvement Center (EIIC) to establish a program in Pennsylvania that will increase the number of EMS agencies who have an overseeing PECC. By forming a steering committee of invested partners, the PA EMSC program plans to develop a comprehensive program that includes building a website to promote the importance of a PECC and provide for resources to interested parties that will grow and sustain the program long after the funding award period closes.
