Services Provided

Our paramedics proudly provide Saskatoon and area with emergency medical services as well as several other community related projects.

Paramedicine

Community paramedicine is a new and evolving model of community-based health care in which paramedics function outside their customary emergency response and transport roles. In this way they facilitate more appropriate use of health care resources and enhance access to primary care for medically underserved populations.

This joint project with the Saskatoon Health Region hopes to help solve common delivery system problems such as:

  • Overuse of the 911 system for social or psychological problems
  • Alternative solution for patients who do not require transport to an emergency department
  • Hospital re-admissions due to gaps in care between hospital and outpatient care
  • Limited or no capacity for short-notice home visits, especially during off hours
  • Supplementing primary care shortages in underserved areas

Health Bus

Partnering with the Saskatoon Health Region and the Saskatchewan Ministry of Health, the Health Bus is an innovative program that brings primary health care services directly to residents of Saskatoon.

Mobile health assessments

The Health Bus is designed to take health care to the people and is staffed with Nurse Practitioners and Paramedics. People can drop-in, with no appointments necessary. Some of the more common services provided are:

  • Diagnose and treat common illness and injuries
