Welcome to the Illinois EMSC Web Site
ILLINOIS EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES FOR CHILDREN was established in 1994 at
Loyola University Medical Center, Division of Emergency
Medical Services. The program aims to improve pediatric emergency and
critical care capabilities as well as
childhood injury prevention initiatives within the state of Illinois through education,
system development and data initiatives. Working together, Loyola University Medical Center and
the Illinois Department of Public Health are
vested in saving children's lives.
Supported by Loyola University Medical Center, this web site is an important tool that
allows the Illinois EMSC program to reach out and educate. Visitors can quickly and
conveniently access current pediatric practice recommendations for healthcare
practitioners, locate information on pediatric educational courses or events,
access pediatric emergency care and injury prevention resources and identify
