LinksThe Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network (PECARN)PECARN is the Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network, the first federally funded multi-institutional network for research in pediatric emergency medicine in the United States. The goal of PECARN is to conduct meaningful and rigorous research into the prevention and management of acute illnesses and injuries in children and youth across the continuum of emergency medicine health care. Emergency Medical Services for Children EMSC is a national initiative designed to reduce child and youth disability and death due to severe illness or injury. Its goals are to ensure that state-of-the-art emergency medical care is available for all ill or injured children and adolescents; that pediatric services are well integrated into an emergency medical services (EMS) system; and that the entire spectrum of emergency services, including primary prevention of illness and injury, acute care, and rehabilitation, are provided to children and adolescents. A federal grant program supports state and local action. Maternal and Child Health Bureau In 1935, the U.S. Congress enacted Title V of the Social Security Act, which authorized Maternal and Child Health Services program and provided a foundation and structure for assuring the health of American mothers and children. The Bureau focuses—through leadership, performance, and accountability—on accomplishment of five over-arching goals: 1) Provide National Leadership for Maternal and Child Health; 2) Promote an Environment that Supports Maternal and Child Health; 3) Eliminate Health Barriers and Disparities; 4) Improve the Health Infrastructure and Systems of Care, and 5) Assure Quality of Care.
