Fond du Lac Fire and Rescue is teaming up with the Fond du lac County Public Health Department and Agnesian Healthcare to launch a new pilot mobile services program. The program is designed to help at-risk residents to ensure they don’t fall through the cracks when it comes to their overall health and well being. Fire chief Pete O’Leary says under the program off-duty paramedics will visit residents who have requested or been referred for service but likely don’t need emergency care. O’Leary says paramedics will perform an assessment and then help connect the patient with the appropriate care referrals in the community. O’Leary says using a Mobile Integrated Healthcare model emphasizes the importance of providing the right care at the right time in the right place at the right cost. The program is made possible thanks to a contribution from the Agnesian Healthcare Foundation.
