Anderson Fire Department Seeks Community Paramedics to Enhance Local Health Initiatives

The Anderson Fire Department is actively recruiting for three Community Paramedic positions, marking a significant shift towards integrated community health support.

 

These roles are central to the Post Overdose Response Team (PORT) initiative, focusing on providing sustained assistance to individuals and families impacted by substance-related emergencies.

 

Unlike traditional emergency responders, Community Paramedics will engage in proactive measures such as education, resource connection, risk reduction, and follow-up care, aiming to prevent future crises.

 

This approach aligns with a broader trend in emergency services, emphasizing the importance of addressing root causes to enhance public health outcomes.

By integrating urgent care with community health strategies, the department seeks to foster a healthier Anderson community.

 

Experienced paramedics passionate about extending their impact beyond immediate emergencies are encouraged to apply.
