We all need care at some point in our lives. For some, the biggest barrier to receiving care is accessing it. Community Paramedicine providers work with your primary care provider to break that barrier and bring care to patients who need it most, where they need it most.

Patients can be evaluated in the comfort of their own homes through a scheduled appointment time. Visits are free and can help avoid a clinic visit, ambulance ride or hospital care. 

If you or your loved one could benefit from this service, talk to your Cornerstone Family Practice provider at 563-252-2141.
