Healthcare Providers & Community Agencies - Community Paramedicine For Individuals and Families with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities

Services

Community Paramedics is a pilot project funded in part through the Florida Developmental Disabilities Council and the federal Administration for Community Living to help Floridians with I/DD and their families access healthcare. A Medical Director oversees this initiative.

Home visits to persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) and their families is the primary service offered by Community Paramedics in Orange, Seminole and Osceola counties. Visits typically include a basic health and safety assessment, education about and administration of vaccinations, and referrals to needed services. The program is free.

Community Paramedics in Orange, Seminole and Osceola counties are standing by, ready to reach out to the underserved community of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). The goals of the program are to decrease costs of healthcare services, improve access to care and help physicians take the best possible care of their patients with special needs.

Healthcare providers and community agencies are encouraged to refer individuals with I/DD and their families to Community Paramedics. Individuals with I/DD, their families and caregivers can also self-refer.
