Community Health Paramedic Program Lead Williamson County EMS Georgetown, Texas
Description: Williamson County EMS CHP (Community Health Program) has partnered with the local health district (WCCHD) over the course of the pandemic to provide testing, vaccinations, and infection control assessments to underserved populations throughout the county. This relationship forged the way for a partnership built on truly aligning Mobile Integrated Healthcare and Public Health. The CHP program will partner with the WCCHD program eligibility and social services department to provide a robust follow up service to residents receiving county indigent care services and insurance. While most community paramedicine and mobile integrated healthcare programs associate themselves with a 911 service or emergency provider, we have discovered that our services in Williamson County are much more in line with Public Health.
