Plain Language and Community Education

This 30-minute webinar explores the vital role of community paramedics. Moving beyond emergency lights and sirens, these professionals work closely with the community to improve local healthcare and support people before a crisis happens. 

In this session, you’ll hear firsthand from NRCH community paramedics, Keli and Nicholas. We will also be joined by NRCH CEO Simone Heald, who recently returned from Canada after meeting with the team at McMaster University who designed the CP@clinic model.

We look at how the program operates locally and dive into the importance of cultural competence, ensuring care is tailored and respectful to our diverse community.
