July’s guest speaker, Paul Ford, NREMTP, the Mobile Integrated Heathcare Coordinator for the Las Cruces Fire Department sent us a copy of his presentation, Mobile Integrated Healthcare: Furthering the Mission.

As noted before, Paul specializes in working with at-risk populations who call 911 frequently due to unmet health and wellness needs and are affected by the unique conditions surrounding the elderly, mental health, homelessness, and substance abuse. The presentaion details how te mission of the Fire Department has changed to include the huge growth in these types of calls.
