Florida Celebrates 1 Year of Prehospital Recognition Program

January 2026 wasn’t just the start of a new year, it also marked the one-year anniversary of the launch of the Florida Prehospital Pediatric Readiness Recognition Program (FL PRRP).

To celebrate this milestone, we’re excited to share an article from EMpulse, the official publication of the Florida College of Emergency Physicians. The article highlights the work of the Florida State Partnership team, and showcases the thoughtful planning, strong partnerships, and dedicated efforts that brought this program to life and continue to advance pediatric readiness across prehospital systems statewide.

We extend our congratulations to program manager Katelyn Dabhi and program/medical director Dr. Phyllis Hendry for their leadership and commitment to improving emergency care for children in Florida. We also applaud the entire team for reaching this important milestone.
