Mobile Integrated Health & Community Paramedicine

Our goal is simple: Deliver the right care, at the right time, in the right place.

  

Mobile Integrated Health (MIH) and Community Paramedicine programs expand the role of EMS beyond emergency response to better serve patients where they are—at home and in the community.

Community paramedics are highly trained EMS professionals who provide non-emergency, preventive, and follow-up care for patients who may not need a trip to the hospital but still require medical attention and support.

what we do

Our MIH team helps bridge the gap between emergency care and everyday healthcare by:

  • Conducting in-home medical assessments
  • Helping patients manage chronic conditions like heart failure, diabetes, and COPD
  • Performing post-hospital discharge follow-ups to reduce readmissions
  • Assisting with medication education and compliance
  • Connecting patients with primary care providers and community resources
  • Providing urgent evaluations to determine if a hospital visit is truly needed

who we help

  We serve patients who:

  • Call 911 frequently for non-emergency issues
  • Have difficulty accessing traditional healthcare
  • Are managing chronic illnesses
  • Need extra support after a recent hospital stay
  • Benefit from healthcare delivered in the comfort of their home
  • Need Fall prevention services and support.

why it matters

  

MIH improves patient outcomes by:

  • Reducing unnecessary emergency room visits
  • Lowering hospital readmissions
  • Providing personalized, one-on-one care
  • Keeping patients healthier and safer at home

how it works

  

Patients may be referred to the MIH program by family or friends of patients who can benefit from the program, EMS crews, hospitals, physicians, or through internal department programs. Visits are scheduled or arranged based on patient needs, and care is coordinated with the patient’s healthcare team.
