We Are On A Mission To Help Children
The overall mission of the Missouri Emergency Medical Services for Children (MOEMSC) Program is to reduce pediatric morbidity and mortality due to acute illness and injury by building a strong, sustainable network of health care providers that promotes quality, evidenced-based emergency care for pediatric patients. This mission will be achieved through increased education opportunities, process improvement projects, and advocacy efforts.
