• How Delta County Ambulance built a sustainable community paramedicine program (ems1.com) — Delta County (Colorado) Ambulance District’s community paramedicine team has grown from one paramedic to a three-clinician MIH unit by piecing together grants, public health partnerships, and a major deal with Rocky Mountain Health Plans. The story explains how they fund home visits, vaccine delivery, and telehealth for rural residents, and urges EMS leaders to lobby for Medicaid and Medicare reimbursement of similar services.
