What Is A Community Paramedic?
As defined by Eastern Ontario Community Paramedic Programs, "Community Paramedicine is about helping community members who wish to remain at home safely, and ensure they receive the care they need.
The program works by having a patient referred to the paramedic services through a caregiver, hospital, physician, or with self signup through this website.
“Community Paramedicine (CP) is an innovative and evolving model of community-based healthcare designed to provide more effective and efficient services at a lower cost.
Community Paramedicine allows paramedics to function outside their traditional emergency response and transport roles to help facilitate more appropriate use of emergency care resources while enhancing access to primary care for medically underserved populations.”
