Gulf 7 Pediatric Disaster Network

The Gulf 7 Pediatric Disaster Network (G7) is one of three national Pediatric Disaster Care Centers of Excellence working to improve care for children across the disaster cycle spectrum of mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery.

With our network of leading healthcare professionals, clinicians, educators, and emergency medical services, we provide a multi-pronged approach to ensuring nearly 7 million children in the Gulf Coast region have access to medical care in times of crisis, regardless of their ability to pay.

G7 brings together private and public entities including regional healthcare coalitions, public health and emergency managers, and national organizations like the American Academy of Pediatrics, Emergency Nurses Association, and American College of Emergency Physicians. We aim to develop best practices around disaster preparedness and response and to share these practices at the local, state, and regional levels.
