We Care. For Everyone.
This year’s theme for Paramedic Services Week is "We Care. For Everyone." Our world-class team of Paramedics lives this statement every day—whether they’re providing life-saving pre-hospital care, helping older adults stay healthy at home, or supporting our partners like the Halton Regional Police Service, they are here for our community when we need it most.
The demand for paramedic services in Halton is estimated to rise by 4.7 percent each year between now and 2034. Our 10-year Paramedic Services Master Plan will help us maintain our level of service as the region's population ages and grows. It includes how we plan to build a new headquarters in Oakville and hubs across Halton. We’re also adding more Community Paramedics to support programs like the Community Paramedicine Program in partnership with other health agencies, which helps older adults manage their health at home and reduces 911 calls.
Watch our video that highlights some of the great work that our Community Paramedics are doing to empower older adults to be proactive in managing their health:
