This morning I had the opportunity to hear Adam Gatten guest speak at the GCRA meeting about the incredible work being done through the Community Paramedicine program with Jackson Township Fire Department.
What stood out most is that this program is truly focused on helping seniors and vulnerable residents stay safe, healthy, and independent in their homes. The program goes far beyond emergency response — it’s proactive care and prevention.
Some of the ways the Community Paramedic program helps residents include:
* Fall prevention and home safety checks
* Medication organization and wellness support
* Installing smoke detectors and grab bars
* Connecting residents with transportation, food, medical equipment, and community resources
* Helping reduce unnecessary ER visits and 911 calls
* Supporting seniors who may otherwise feel isolated
As both a nurse and Seniors Real Estate Consultant, I especially appreciate programs like this that help older adults age safely and with dignity while remaining in their homes as long as possible.
Thank you to Adam Gatten and the entire Jackson Township Fire Department team for the meaningful work you’re doing in our community.
The program serves residents in Grove City, Jackson Township, and Urbancrest .
