About community paramedic
A Community Paramedic is trained in responding to a scene and arranging appointments and transportation to alternate destinations through established partnerships or direct field communication.

Services provided by community paramedics include, but are not limited to, completing blood glucose checks, vital signs, blood draws, and other treatments for the purpose of assessing and reporting to the referring physician and providing in-home evaluation of high-risk patients following hospital discharge.
