Emergency Medical Services for Children

The Emergency Medical Services for Children (EMSC) Program is funded by the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration, Maternal and Child Health Bureau in collaboration with the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration. The EMSC Program works to decrease child morbidity and mortality due to severe illness or injury. It does this by working to improve the emergency medical care system as it pertains to children's needs across the continuum of emergency care - including prevention, pre-hospital care, acute care, rehabilitation, and reintegration into the community.

This web page will provide resources for a variety of stakeholders working to address the needs of children at risk for or who need emergency medical care in the state of North Carolina.
