Agenda

Phoenix Children’s, in partnership with the Phoenix Fire Department and hosted by the Phoenix Suns, presented the fourth EMS | MVP Pediatric Symposium, a training to ensure first responders in Arizona have the up-to-date education they need to respond to pediatric emergencies, which often require a very different response than adult emergency calls.

Formerly known as the "Phoenix Children's Hospital EMS For Kids ('EMS4K') Conference," this event helps better-prepare Phoenix's robust first-responder network for pediatric-specific emergencies. The event took place at the Footprints Center, home of the Phoenix Suns.

Phoenix Children’s, the Phoenix Fire Department and the Phoenix Suns were proud to host the EMS MVP Pediatric Symposium 2019. Paramedics, EMTs, nurses, doctors, medical technicians, trainees and other healthcare professionals attending represented more than 100 different agencies throughout Arizona.
