Community Programs

The Community Paramedic program is best described as “care where you are”.  We act as a liaison between the patient and their healthcare team to achieve the best outcome for the person’s overall health and wellness.  We meet with a patient anywhere they might reside:  houses, apartments, homeless shelter, under a bridge/outdoors, coffee shop and restaurant.  Our focus has always been on the patient that does not qualify for a visiting nurse for various reasons, to fill that gap in healthcare.

The Community Paramedic program was started in August 2013.

The primary goals of the program are:
· Connect patients with primary care
· Reduce reliance on emergency services
· Reduce hospital re-admissions
· Reduce overall healthcare cost
· Liaison between patient and primary care team for overall health and wellness

Our Community Programs Division also provides equipment and staffing for community outreach events such as National Night Out, Touch-A-Truck, Neighborhood Watch events, community festivals, and more.
