About the Partnership
The Texas EMSC State Partnership Family Advocates Network brings together groups of concerned individuals from across Texas who are dedicated to reducing child and adolescent morbidity and mortality from serious illness or injury in our state. As a vital part of the EMSC State Partnership team, family advocate volunteers will have the support of a state-wide collaborative of professionals and volunteers from a variety of vocations and disciplines, working together to create a unified front in the effort to ensure safe, effective, efficient, timely, equitable, family-centered emergency medical care for all children in the great State of Texas.
