The Sanford Fire Department’s Community Paramedicine program is dedicated to assisting the public with their at-home self-care abilities and knowledge. The idea is to help those who find themselves in and out of the Emergency Room more
often than they want to be able to find areas that can improve in the home, which in turn will help them actually be able to stay in their home. Things like Primary Care establishment, assistance with insurance navigation, education on a new or older medical
condition, equipment that may help you in your home. Also, we help connect you with resources within the community that will assist with general health such as food pantries, social outlets, health department, environmental issues in the home, among many
others. If you’re not sure if we can help, feel free to call. We will get you pointed in the right direction.
If you feel you or someone you know would benefit from us just trying to help, please contact us:
