💙🫶🙌!

When college leadership steps into the ambulance simulator to support pediatric EMS education, it sends a powerful message: caring for children matters.

Today, on EMS for Children Day during EMS Week 2026, we are reminded that some of the smallest patients will one day depend on someone in the back of an ambulance to know exactly what to do.

That preparation starts here.

At Barton, students train through hands-on pediatric simulations designed to build not only skill and confidence, but compassion for children and families experiencing some of the hardest moments of their lives.

We are thankful for leaders like Vice President Elaine Simmons, and others who continue supporting healthcare education and investing in the future of EMS.

Because somewhere in the future, this training may help save someone’s child.
