Project Austin

Project Austin works with local EMS and emergency departments to provide continuity of care for children with complex medical conditions.

Caring for Your Child Wherever They Go

Children with medically complex conditions require specialized care, ideally from pediatric tertiary centers like Children's Nebraska. However, in emergencies, local EMS and emergency departments may be unfamiliar with a child's individual needs, leading to potential delays and inappropriate treatment. Project Austin aims to ensure continuity by raising awareness and educating local EMS and emergency departments on each child's specific needs.
