Request for Community Paramedic Visits

Chemainus BCAS (Station 149) now has a Community Paramedic program in place for their service area which includes Thetis Island.  

Persons wishing to take part in this free service of health care visits at home by the Community Paramedic  must be referred by their family doctor or another health care professional to the Station 149 Unit Chief.  

Here on Thetis I can gather names of those interested and whom might benefit from this service of support; helping people achieve self-management goals, improving health outcomes, or helping persons remain in their home at end of life, and reducing emergency room visits as well as hospital stays.

Here are the criteria: Persons already diagnosed with heart failure (HF), COPD or diabetes, and/or require an in-home assessment of fall risks, or requires palliative support.

Please let me know if you or someone you know on Thetis wishes to be considered for inclusion in the service and I will apply for you.
