Communities that have existing community paramedicine programs funded by the Ministry of Health through their Local Health Integration Network (LHIN), are invited to express their interest in expanding their program to the Ministry of Long-Term Care.

There are 29 communities that may be eligible for this phase of expansion, based on the following eligibility criteria:

  • Existing community paramedicine programs can be expanded quickly to meet the needs of the target LTC-related population.
  • The LHIN is supportive and committed to maximizing local resources rather than replacing or duplicating existing or new resources from other community paramedicine programs.
  • There is existing local community paramedicine provider capacity, specifically advanced care paramedics, without risk to emergency medical services.
