Unfortunately, as this time, Community Care Paramedic face-to-face patient visits or Blood Pressure clinics will not be possible until BCEHS hires a new Community Paramedic in Chemainus for the position.
The position is still vacant; however, BCEHS do have a Community Paramedic who is available to provide virtual wellness checks for patients.
The virtual wellness checks would consist of phone check-ins or home health monitoring for the patients. For those patients who could benefit from this service, BCEHS would require a Patient Specific Service Referral form to be filled out – if you would like a form emailed to you, please contact me at chief11@telus.net.
