Community Paramedicine (CP) is a model of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) that encompasses community-based care. Community Paramedics provide vital service in the form of preventative care in underserved areas, triage of acute calls, and facilitation of follow-up care as necessary. Community Paramedics assist healthcare providers in both the primary care and emergency medicine specialties. Community Paramedicine is a gap filler. We do not replicate services; we partner with surrounding agencies and utilize all community resources to improve patient health.

Bridging the Gap

With Community Paramedicine your care doesn’t stop after you walk out of a clinic or leave the emergency department. We assist with scheduled follow-up appointments and referrals to specialists. We provide needed transportation to these appointments and we make sure that prescribed medications are filled and taken as prescribed. We also provide nutrition education and resource referral(s) and follow-up. Our program focuses on patients with a history of Sepsis, CHF, Diabetes, and Transitional care.
