Welcome

Our mission is to optimize the care of critically ill infants, children, and adolescents through education, advocacy, and professional support of its members. We believe children deserve access to the highest quality of critical care in a safe clinical setting and we’re dedicated to advancing these values through education, policy development, advocacy, and research.
