Michigan Community Paramedicine Program

The Michigan Community Paramedicine Program allows trained paramedics to provide non-emergency healthcare services in the community, beyond traditional emergency responses. They assess patients’ health needs, offer preventive care, manage chronic conditions, and connect individuals with appropriate resources, helping reduce unnecessary trips to the emergency room. This innovative approach improves health outcomes, promotes preventive care, and enhances access for vulnerable populations, all while supporting the overall healthcare system's efficiency. The program emphasizes collaboration between emergency services and community health providers to deliver personalized, proactive care outside hospital settings.
