Session Description: 

The Pediatric Pandemic Network (PPN) is a national consortium of children’s hospitals, academic institutions, community organizations, and disaster-preparedness partners dedicated to strengthening pediatric healthcare readiness for everyday emergencies, disasters, and global health threats. The network develops and disseminates evidence-based education, pediatric disaster toolkits, and quality-improvement initiatives; aggregates partner data through analytics platforms to guide planning; advances pediatric disaster science; and engages stakeholders to align priorities and support interoperable systems of care. Through the art of storytelling, PPN leaders will share their stories of impact to our networks and communities and engage the audience in envisioning the future of PPN.
