Community Paramedic Programs

Community paramedicine is a relatively new and evolving healthcare model. It allows paramedics to operate in expanded roles by assisting with public health, primary healthcare and preventive services to underserved, at-risk, and/or identified populations in the community.

Goal

  • Connect clients to primary care, and other health and social services
  • Integrate with local public health agencies, home health agencies, health systems, primary care, and other providers
  • Provide assessment, monitoring, and treatment in the community
  • Decrease 911/ER use while improving health/social outcomes
  • Avoid duplicating services available in the community

Programs

  • Core Program
  • Community Paramedic Long Term Care
  • Remote Home Monitoring 
  • Community Clinics
  • COVID-19 Immunization 
  • FluMedic / IV Initiation

The Core Program

The Core Program encompasses all features of community paramedicine and runs Monday to Friday, 7:00 am – 7:00 pm. Home visits are arranged to support patients with congestive heart failure, chronic inflammatory lung disease and diabetes. However, if you have a patient who may benefit from the service, please contact us.

The Community Paramedics Long Term Care Program

This program is offered 24/7 and focuses on providing care to residents who are:

  • On a long term care waitlist
  • Soon to be on the long term care waitlist
  • Opted to remain in their own homes
  • Patients requiring supplemental Community Paramedicine services, beyond home and community care
  • Citizens who may otherwise benefit from community paramedic involvement 

The goal of this program is to:

  • Provide supports to provide safe and prompt care for matters not requiring treatment at a hospital
  • To ease pressure on long term care waitlists while allowing people to remain in their own homes
  • To assist with caregiver burnout
  • To decrease the hospital's emergency department admission of long term care bound patients
  • To support hospital discharge for long term care bound patients
