Community Paramedics apply specialized training and skills in the community, outside of a traditional 9-1-1 emergency response role to support people with Congestive Heart Failure, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Diabetes

Initiatives include:- improving quality of life and well-being
- reduce patient exacerbations and crisis requiring 911 response
- reduce emergency department visits and hospital admissions
