"Second of the mayor's initiatives is to create paramedic response
units. So as you know, the paramedics are for the highest degree of
emergency and care. And oftentimes when they come to a crisis, they
may not be at that level. But they're still the ones who could
transport the patient to the hospital. And that redirects the
paramedics to other really high-level jobs. So these paramedics are
going to be coming with the EMTs. And if it is a lower-level response,
then the EMTs can take the patient to the hospital. And that will
relieve the paramedics to go to high-level calls for service, which
will also save time."

they are also doing telehealth and EMT liaisons at hospitals
