Tri -county partnership receives ESTC in Blyth collaborating with Lake Huron Learning
funding for paramedicine
Pilot program
aims to improve
the reach of
health care to
vulnerable persons
within Huron, Bruce
and Perth Counties
Huron County, in partner-
ship with Bruce and Perth
Counties, will receive provincial
fundingto support the develop-
ment of a pilot communitypar-
amedicine program in the
region. Communityparamedi-
cine is a developing field of
practice where paramedics
apply their skills and training in
health care to situations beyond
emergency response and
transportation.
The province of Ontario,
through the Ministry of Health
and Long Term Care, is provid-
ing Huron County and the Tri -
County Community Paramedi-
cine Program with up to
$104,000 in 2014/15, followed
by up to $16,300 in 2015/2016.
"The aim of a paramedicine
program is to keep seniors and
other patients in their homes
for as long as possible, keep
their care as close to home as
possible, and ensure that care
providers can easily access
other levels of service for their
client, said David Lew, Huron
County Chief of Emergency
Services and Tri -County Com-
munityParamedicine Program
Lead.
Once the program is in
place, participating para-
medics will work with
teams of health profession-
als to provide more proac-
tive care to patients living
in Huron, Bruce and Perth
Counties. Examples of
improved care will include:
• increasing assessments
and referrals to local ser-
vices in the community like
Community Care Access
Centres (CCACs) for fol-
low-up care
• piloting wellness clinics
for seniors
• education for patients
on managing their chronic
diseases
"This funding will allow
Huron County and our
partners to conduct an
assessment of the current
and future paramedicine
needs in our communities
so we can be as effective as
possible with our program,"
said Warden Joe Steffler.
"I'd like to congratulate all
of the EMS and paramedic
staff involved in this tri -
county initiative for their
leadership."
