Trinity Health will partner with Huron Valley Ambulance, health providers, and community agencies to launch a community paramedic program serving older adults in Washtenaw County. The community paramedic program will connect appropriate medical, mental health, and social services, allowing the paramedic to consult with a nurse or the individual’s primary care physician; provide referrals; treat the individual on location if possible; and reduce unnecessary hospitalizations and emergency room visits.
