In addition to Fire Rescue Community Outreach and Public Education, the Community Paramedicine Program is an outreach program that will allow us access to the citizens of Clarendon County to assess, educate, and facilitate the management of the patient’s medical conditions to improve their overall health, reduce the need for hospital treatments and intervention, and to reduce the events of deterioration of their condition following discharge from the hospital. This access will allow us to install smoke alarms in homes where they are needed, look for fire safety hazards, and create an overall safety assessment of the resident’s homes.
