We are fortunate to have great community partners like the City of Port Angeles Fire Department, who collaborated with us over the last few years to pilot – and subsequently expand – the Community Paramedicine Program thanks to a grant from the United Health Foundation:

The program has had a significant impact on improving the health of underserved patients in the community and decreasing emergency department visits and 911 calls. We’re excited to hear that the City of Port Angeles plans to continue funding this important outreach.
