Pediatric Pandemic Network (PPN), a federally funded cooperative agreement among children’s hospitals across the United States, aims to empower all health care systems and their communities to be prepared to provide high-quality pediatric care in everyday emergencies, disasters, and global health threats.
PPN education aims to prepare communities for these situations and is a key part of PPN’s approach. This effort includes PPN Learn, a catalog of courseware, PPN Resource Central, a database of resources reviewed by subject matter experts, and PPN Continuing Education, a portal of live and enduring credit opportunities.
PPN has made all educational resources available for free to organizations including CHA’s member hospitals.
