So Carmen and Katie developed an EMS Community Partnership program. They created a seamless link between this Community Partnership program and 911 calls for falls.

So I get all the referrals from my great colleagues in primary care. And then the family tells me they can’t keep an appointment, they can’t manage their finances. Well, even for somebody like you, who’s pretty familiar with the instruments, it might cause distress for the patient, maybe their family.
