Our mission is to improve community health by providing proactive, patient-centered care outside the traditional 911 system. We work directly with residents, caregivers, healthcare partners, and social service agencies to reduce emergency calls, improve wellness, and support long‑term health outcomes.
Our Mission
The Community Paramedicine team is dedicated to:
- Supporting residents with chronic medical or social needs
- Reducing preventable emergency calls and hospital admissions
- Connecting individuals to appropriate healthcare and community resources
- Providing in‑home assessments and follow-up services
- Building strong relationships that support long-term wellness
Our philosophy is compassion-first and collaboration-based. We believe the best outcomes happen when healthcare, social services, and emergency responders work hand-in-hand with the community.
