About

The website describes the Florida Prehospital Pediatric Readiness Recognition Program, which helps EMS and fire-rescue agencies improve care for children in emergencies. The program has two levels: Silver and Gold. Agencies can apply by meeting certain requirements, like having a pediatric care coordinator, special equipment, training, and community outreach. The guide explains how to apply, what documents are needed, and how agencies are reviewed. It also lists helpful resources for improving pediatric emergency care but says joining the program is voluntary and does not affect an agency’s license.
