Currently we have three Paramedic level providers that have completed an additional one year certificate program from Idaho State University as Community Paramedics. This program utilizes both Paramedic and EMT level providers to deal with individual cases that do not fit into the typical 911 emergent framework. Historically, Emergency Medical Services respond to calls that were dispatched through the 911 emergency system. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbf1b210f3dd315bb4bb17d/1613437883179-QXHEKPDPPX91CO1CVXWM/FB_IMG_1560470923219.jpg Mobile Integrated Health https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbf1b210f3dd315bb4bb17d/1613359931800-QN8WSDGLXLXGQUUAYSI3/A49F5122-2852-4E3F-A7ED-A08B16715710.JPG Mobile Integrated Health - Throughout the years we have recognized trends that with a little assistance could have been prevented, or may have been better served using alternate modalities other than an expensive and unnecessary transport to the hospital. The goal is to minimize unnecessary hospital visits as well as provide much needed assistance and education in the homes of our patients. The MIH program that Boundary Ambulance has developed is a project that is molded to specifically fit the needs of Boundary County. So far it has been working very well and due to its rising success we hope this program can make a positive difference in the lives of many of our residents. It has already benefited hundreds of people that may have otherwise struggled to get answers to their questions and the proper care they needed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbf1b210f3dd315bb4bb17d/1613359338738-THAD3I9P0RSD7CT16P1U/IMG_2072.jpg Mobile Integrated Health - This program is designed to work with all local resources and often receives its contacts in a variety of ways that do not meet the traditional standards of Emergency Medical Services. Though we still meet people in need during times of crisis, we have also had local medical clinics, and the Hospital Emergency Department mention our program to their patients and connect them with our outside services when they recognize the need for non-emergent help that may benefit the patients overall outcome. Occasionally a concerned family member may contact us and ask if we can help with their loved one living in the area. Sometimes we just simply find people who have needs because their situation seems to fall through the cracks of our healthcare system. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbf1b210f3dd315bb4bb17d/1613360531890-7BBAD6UGGFQ8ESQWZU99/IMG_1636.jpg Mobile Integrated Health - The MIH program providers are trained in helping with evaluating homes to identify injury hazards to minimize or prevent injury. We can assist your primary care providers with in home issues for patients who are unable to leave their homes. We can connect people going through mental health issues with appropriate resources to provide assistance. Our providers can be a liaison for people who need home health and palliative care, or provide further e ducation of their health conditions and medications. Quite often we find individuals are confused about how the healthcare system operates and feel lost so they just give up trying. This leads to those patients not seeking the care when they really need it. We want to help! Our service is always done with the consent of the patient, and the sole purpose of providing them with options to live their lives safer and healthier. We place extremely high value on personal rights and privacy and truly see this program as an opportunity to get to know our community better as well as do our part to keep this a great community to live in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbf1b210f3dd315bb4bb17d/f86c0836-4b77-4467-b282-5a34c3757506/643.JPG Mobile Integrated Health https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbf1b210f3dd315bb4bb17d/94593176-7683-48fd-833c-83b931c75bc1/679.JPG Mobile Integrated Health https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbf1b210f3dd315bb4bb17d/cccf1cdc-b98a-408b-913c-0d7d96624e0a/IMG_1569.jpg Mobile Integrated Health https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbf1b210f3dd315bb4bb17d/95edf084-0825-46ab-87cc-aa49a8871ae3/665.JPG Mobile Integrated Health https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbf1b210f3dd315bb4bb17d/1616047905630-VANGDNVUPL4I6ND3GIPX/IMG_0102.jpg Mobile Integrated Health https://www.boundaryambulance.org/our-services daily 0.75 2021-03-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbf1b210f3dd315bb4bb17d/1585939806588-2R8XKYQPI8BNUWQ6YGTB/IMG_1396.JPG FAQ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbf1b210f3dd315bb4bb17d/1616046856321-0549XNBE4PXG6GO51COO/IMG_0138.jpg FAQ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbf1b210f3dd315bb4bb17d/1616046947734-BTIMP5D4JIAX9NWVDB8W/IMG_0029.jpg FAQ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbf1b210f3dd315bb4bb17d/1613352502302-34XX2OJBTD8SQVW5AVYW/A79647AC-41F2-4915-B4A7-9F97ADFB2401.JPG FAQ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbf1b210f3dd315bb4bb17d/1613867007737-XP7K90ZLYAYS2FG4D5O9/20191023_103038.jpg FAQ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbf1b210f3dd315bb4bb17d/1613352375033-ACMQC0E9VZ4HHNFM64AV/50B3720F-52D0-4D14-9886-9B2FD1340C23.JPG FAQ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbf1b210f3dd315bb4bb17d/1585952546480-ZYCYLWLVNP1FDM8MI8TP/IMG_1392+%281%29.JPG FAQ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbf1b210f3dd315bb4bb17d/1593132639107-M3125GDYNLC8ZALL22K4/747.JPG FAQ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbf1b210f3dd315bb4bb17d/1593138229597-I4ZI4T3XTBAO8AYQJUI3/IMG_1277.jpg FAQ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbf1b210f3dd315bb4bb17d/3ff6b11a-7473-41df-8f8c-638bf2a32924/IMG_20190209_154117.jpg FAQ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbf1b210f3dd315bb4bb17d/73cff963-d071-4cf4-9edf-48cb374b6b9e/20200420_090119.jpg FAQ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbf1b210f3dd315bb4bb17d/80f0c7c4-7444-499a-b0fb-a51c31174124/2020-12-27+%284%29.jpg FAQ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbf1b210f3dd315bb4bb17d/1593138668775-N4OLBVT3IBBQ1JE1Z2GW/IMG_1391+%281%29.JPG FAQ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbf1b210f3dd315bb4bb17d/1593138746683-JIZXZN0FY0KIN938ZMY3/652.JPG FAQ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbf1b210f3dd315bb4bb17d/1616046534559-8ARDPZ7FPOLGGQU285DS/IMG_0068.jpg FAQ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbf1b210f3dd315bb4bb17d/1616047097785-RY0ZRYVZZHC13KKK306F/IMG_0047.jpg FAQ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbf1b210f3dd315bb4bb17d/1616047122400-JO3B4H4N25QTRVPFWZJ6/IMG_0095.jpg FAQ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbf1b210f3dd315bb4bb17d/df3a4fd5-4f76-4f6f-a241-58405b0dff28/IMG_0182.jpg FAQ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbf1b210f3dd315bb4bb17d/7ae81257-ab2f-4273-ab12-29a61b4c1bd2/IMG_0178.jpg FAQ https://www.boundaryambulance.org/contact daily 0.75 2021-02-02 https://www.boundaryambulance.org/bill-pay daily 0.75 2021-03-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbf1b210f3dd315bb4bb17d/1613352911787-JQTOXLUM5F0YYDAKLOJC/IMG_2178.jpg Bill Pay - Systems Design West To help make paying your medical bills easier, Boundary Ambulance offers a safe and secure way to pay your bill online.
