Code Ana

What Code Ana does

Code Ana is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization — operating under its parent entity The Teal Schoolhouse — that develops and delivers medical emergency preparedness training for U.S. K-12 schools, childcare and Head Start centers, school nurses, families, and prescribing physicians. Its core product is Med-E Ready, a structured five-milestone program (onboard leadership, onboard community, create team and protocol, run drills, maintain preparedness) delivered with video-led downloadable guides, a customizable calendar tool, and an assessment snapshot; this is complemented by condition-specific courses covering anaphylaxis, asthma, cardiac arrest, and trauma, with the Epinephrine Certification being the flagship paid course (valid for two years).

The underlying platform is a Teachable-based online learning portal (savinglives.codeana.org) that supports self-paced enrollment, certification issuance, and bulk seat licensing for organizations, supplemented by an in-person train-the-trainer program delivered with the Allison Rose Foundation. Programs are explicitly approved in 15 states and content is authored by board-certified allergists and immunologists.

Commercially, Code Ana runs a freemium + paid certification model — free awareness courses sit alongside paid certifications and two-year refresher courses, with bulk purchase options for schools and organizations — and increasingly supplements course revenue with nonprofit grants (ACAAI Allergists' Foundation, National Peanut Board) and donations. Distribution is dual-channel: a nationwide self-serve online portal paired with field-based train-the-trainer and conference presence, reaching thousands of schools and 10,000+ childcare providers cumulatively since founding in 2015.
