Kawartha Lakes, ON Paramedic Pilot COVID-19 Response

Complete

The six-month pilot involved scheduled paramedic visits to recently released patients of Ross Memorial Hospital. A designated paramedic evaluated resident health and coordinated care to reduce the likelihood of readmittance. Council members extended the pilot by nine months in part because of the impacts of COVID-19 on hospital capacity.
