Our Vision:
That every child receives the highest standard of care, whether they seek treatment in a pediatric or general emergency department.
The ECHO and ARCHE research programs are part of a movement in health care towards more patient-centered or family-centered care, wherein patients and their families actively engage in health care decision-making in partnership with the clinical team. Through the Pediatric Parents’ Advisory Group (P-PAG) and the Pediatric Parents’ Advisory Network (P-PAN), we aim to engage parents and families in developing processes and resources to improve child health outcomes.
