EMSC was well represented at Emergency Nursing 2025! It takes a village to improve outcomes for children seeking emergency care in DC and across the country. I'm grateful to have such a strong network behind the National Pediatric Readiness Project and other evidence-based strategies we can implement in our region.

The ENA (Emergency Nurses Association) delegation in New Orleans voted 95% !!! in favor of passing GA25-02: Designation of a Pediatric Emergency Care Coordinator in Every ED. ENA took a strong stand in favor of Nurse PECCs for Pediatric Readiness! Thank you to everyone who supported and pushed for this important resolution.

Parents and families of young children have many questions when it comes to their child’s development. CDC’s Milestone Tracker app can help them keep track of their child’s milestones in one easy to use app. Recommend the app to your families and encourage them to share their child’s progress with you at their next well-visit.

🚫 If your child’s car seat grows mold, it’s not safe to use.
Mold can linger deep in the fabric, padding, and on the shell. It can pose serious health risks. Nothing strong enough to kill mold can safely be used to clean it from a car seat.

👉 The safest choice is replacement, not cleaning.

American Academy of Pediatrics has released our annual update to our immunization recommendations to best help children and adolescents build immunity and stay healthy.

Since our founding in the 1930s, the AAP has been creating evidence-based vaccine recommendations that are rooted in the latest science and our deep clinical knowledge about children’s health.

With misinformation about immunizations spreading, AAP is publishing our own, independent vaccine recommendations, including updated recommendations for RSV, influenza, and COVID-19. Read our full policy statement to learn about AAP's updated immunization schedule.
