Welcome to the Great Lakes Node of the Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network (PECARN) Led by the University of Michigan, the network of hospitals is one of only four groups nationwide to receive funding for research, training and education on pediatric emergency medicine. The network also includes the Children's Hospital of Michigan in Detroit, Hurley Medical Center in Flint, Spectrum Health's Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids, and Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago, Illinois. Network members are dedicated to improving health care for ill and injured children by: performing meaningful and rigorous research to determine optimal strategies to promote health in the preventive, prehospital and hospital phases of care; collaborating with EMS agencies and community groups to address emergency care needs; and collaborating with other research nodes to build rigorous and widely applicable research.
