Community Paramedicine ~ Community Health
  Community Paramedicine and Community Health are two creative ways of using existing resources (our trained Paramedics) to address otherwise unmet health care needs of the community.




  In 2012 St. George Ambulance ~ which has been providing emergency 911 service since 1956 ~ became one of the first services to offer an innovative program called Community Paramedicine which focuses on prevention instead of response.

  St. George, a wonderful community of caring citizens, is a rural community with many elderly citizens and other residents whose health care needs outnumber health care options.  

  Our specially trained Paramedics help to close this gap by working in consultation with Primary Care Physicians, Hospital Discharge Planners and Emergency Room Staff. They address specific identified needs such as:

  • Post Surgical/Post Discharge follow up
  • Medication compliance and Reconciliation
  • Wound Care
  • Blood Draws
  • Episodic care
  • Assistance with the management of chronic illnesses such as:
         - Hypertension
         - Diabetes
        - COPD/Asthma
  • Other services as directed by the primary care physician.

  It is important to note that our personnel do not replace current healthcare services but augment and support them to allow them to do more.




   We are dedicated to improving the quality of life and the health of our citizens and visitors.  Our Community Health Program is designed to recognize and respond to your healthcare needs through a variety of resources.  We strive to help promote healthy living and quality healthcare.  Our services include:
