💜 **Introducing Our Pediatric Emergency Care Coordinator (PECC)** 💜
Haywood County EMS is proud to announce **Elizabeth Crockett** as our **Pediatric Emergency Care Coordinator (PECC)**!
Elizabeth is a **full-time Advanced EMT with Haywood County EMS** and is currently attending **Paramedic school**. As a Haywood County resident, she isn't just serving a community—she's serving **her community**.
Elizabeth also brings valuable pediatric experience from her time working in the **Emergency Department at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital**. She has a genuine love for children, and we believe she will thrive in this role.
As our PECC, Elizabeth will help ensure that our **youngest patients receive the same level of attention, preparedness, and high-quality emergency care as our adult patients**. Children aren't simply “small adults,” and being prepared for pediatric emergencies requires dedicated training, equipment, protocols, and education.
In this role, Elizabeth will:
💜 Work closely with other **PECCs across Tennessee** to share ideas and best practices
🚑 Help strengthen and implement **pediatric-specific protocols and procedures**
🩺 Ensure our crews have the appropriate **pediatric equipment and resources**
📚 Promote continued **pediatric education and training** for our EMS personnel
👧👦 Lead community efforts focused on **pediatric emergency preparedness, education, and awareness**
This position is about much more than what happens inside an ambulance. We want Haywood County EMS to be a resource for **parents, schools, childcare providers, first responders, and most importantly, the children of our community**.
We're excited to see Elizabeth take ownership of this program and help us continue raising the standard of pediatric emergency care in Haywood County.
**Congratulations, Elizabeth! We know our little ones are in great hands. 💜🚑🧸**
