Proactive Health Support
The Community Paramedicine (CP) program provides non-emergency, in-home health care seven days a week for older adults with complex medical needs who may be at risk of hospitalization or awaiting Long-Term Care placement.
Working in partnership with local health care providers, Community Paramedics deliver proactive monitoring, early intervention, and support to help reduce avoidable hospital visits and support independent living at home.
