Refer a patient

Mobile Integrated Healthcare provides patient-centred health care visits, delivered in the patient’s home or where they’re at, based on their needs and preventive services, 24 hours per day, seven days a week. It helps vulnerable, at-risk individuals and older adults live safely in their own homes and reduces avoidable use of ambulance and emergency services.

Primary care physicians, home and community care support services, and allied agencies may refer eligible patients to the Community Paramedic High User and Long-Term Care programs.
