Through improved access, system efficiency and expert patient care, our goals are to reduce morbidity and mortality, improve patient and family satisfaction, and support the tertiary care programs at Children's Hospital. We will strive for the continuous professional advancement of our team through advanced staff education, peer review, and quality improvement activities. We are committed to improving the quality of acute neonatal and pediatric care in the region through outreach education and support of community programs.
Furthermore, we plan to contribute to the field of transport medicine through research and participation in system improvement and policy development on a regional and national level.
