Community Paramedicine (CP) is an emerging model of care where paramedics use an expanded skill set to collaboratively support the chronic disease and primary healthcare system in under serviced rural areas.
It is a client centred holistic approach focused on improved health equity through meaningful and collaborative partnerships between the community member, GCH and GCH community partners.
Community Paramedics Clinics (CP@Clinic) is not a centre-based program. Regularly scheduled clinics are held in communities to enable easy access for disadvantaged community members.
The purpose of this program is to combine a social health focus with primary health care to overcome the specific social determinants of health (SDoH) impacting individuals and their families' health outcomes.
This position will work with community members within a Relationship Based Framework to improve health outcomes, addressing health inequities with a particular focus on SDoH.
Using data, community voice, community leaders, and current research, a SDoH primary care model will be implemented within community settings.
