More About Our Care Coordination
A large part of what our Community Paramedic Providers do is care coordination. We connect patients with local resources to help meet needs such as for transportation, housing, counseling, medical, food and clothing. Read the first edition of More Than Emergencies to learn more about the power of care coordination!
More About Our Lead Screenings
Did you know lead poisoning can lead to learning disabilities, concentration difficulties, developmental delays, behavioral problems and brain damage? Lead can be found in paint in houses built before 1978, water pumped through lead pipes, soil and some imported goods. While lead poisoning may not be reversible, it is preventable!
