Are You a Fit for CPPP?
Ask yourself these questions and if the answer is yes to any of them then our program is right for you.
1. Have I been diagnosed with a chronic disease?
2. Am I confused about my diagnosis? Do I need help and don’t know where to get it?
3. Have I missed doctor appointments because I had no way of getting there?
4. Have I called 911 because I had no other way of seeing a physician?
5. Have I failed to take my medicine because I didn’t have a way to get it and I didn’t understand what it was for?
6. Am I not eating right because I don’t know what I am supposed to eat?
7. Do I wish that I had someone to help me?
Community Paramedics provide non-emergency care to the citizens of Pasquotank County and Camden County. The goal of the group is to connect all Pasquotank County and Camden County citizens to primary health services, thereby decreasing their reliance on 911 for primary care. In addition, the team provides specialized assistance for medically complicated patients in their homes in order to reduce preventable ambulance transports.
