The West Warwick Town Council has officially proclaimed October 6 to 12, 2025, as National Mobile Integrated Healthcare Week, highlighting the importance of mobile health services in the community. This initiative recognizes the growing role of mobile integrated healthcare, which provides patient-centered services outside traditional hospital settings, allowing residents to receive care in their homes and communities.
Mobile integrated healthcare aims to reduce unnecessary visits to emergency departments and improve overall health access by addressing both social and healthcare needs. The program relies on partnerships within the emergency medical services community and a multidisciplinary team of healthcare providers to enhance patient care and manage health issues effectively.
The West Warwick Mobile Integrated Health Community paramedicine program has made significant strides, with over 1,325 visits to 190 patients in the area. This growth reflects the increasing demand for in-home care services among West Warwick residents, showcasing the program's vital role in improving community health outcomes.
The Town Council encourages all residents to acknowledge the contributions of the West Warwick Mobile Integrated Healthcare Team, emphasizing their dedication to enhancing the well-being of the community. This proclamation not only celebrates the achievements of local healthcare providers but also reinforces the town's commitment to accessible and quality healthcare for all its residents.
