On Sunday, July 12, the Wisconsin State Journal newspaper wrote a feature article on community paramedics and the new and emerging programs being developed in the Madison area.  Several health care leaders and ambulance providers were quoted.

According to PAAW Executive Director Joe Covelli,"The article demonstrates the basis for community paramedicine, the great collaboration amongst health care providers to deliver care using this new and emerging model, gap filling to meet patient and community needs, and the need for state legislation to formally recognize community pararmedicine for funding purposes".  Click the below link to read or share the article.
