Community Paramedic

A message from the Community Paramedic, Evan Carroll:

Serving Madison County on a 911 truck for the last seven years after obtaining my Associates Degree in Emergency Medical Science, I have transitioned to a new role in Yancey County as a Community Paramedic. Born and raised in Yancey County, I am excited to be able to deliver care at home in my community. The community paramedic role provides a service that can impact many lives within our community and I look forward to caring for community members as the new Community Paramedic in Yancey County.

The Community Paramedic program is designed to bridge the gap between access to primary care services and the needs of the community. Community Paramedicine is a new concept in healthcare delivery and differs in the traditional role of a paramedic on an ambulance in the 911 setting. The Community Paramedic operates in an expanded role, bridging health care gaps and improving access with home visits while decreasing healthcare costs.
