PPN leadership recently visited one of our 10 hubsites, Children's Mercy Kansas City. We were impressed by the significant efforts they are making to enhance pediatric preparedness in disasters, pandemics, and emergencies for all children. Thank you for hosting us!
It’s an honor to be one of the 10 children’s hospital hub sites for the Pediatric Pandemic Network (PPN), a program federally funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSAgov), HHS. As part of this, we recently hosted a team of government officials and pediatric preparedness experts from across the country. Here, they got to see firsthand how our team members prepare for the future and ensure all children will receive equitable access to healthcare during disasters, pandemics and emergencies. Thank you to PPN, HRSA, and Altarum for the time spent with us. We hope your look into some of the collaboration, education and preparation was inspiring!
