San Diego's Mobile Crisis Response Team program has seen significant growth since its inception in 2021, with the number of calls increasing from 131 to 7,000 between July 2023 and June 2024.
The teams, now totaling 44, consist of trained mental health professionals who can de-escalate behavioral health crises without law enforcement involvement. These teams have successfully stabilized over 50% of field cases, reducing law enforcement stress.
The program is now available to all school districts in the county, assisting with a range of behavioral health crises. This initiative aims to provide a compassionate and effective response to mental health crises while ensuring community safety.

The Caldwell County Ambulance District (CCAD) will participate in a $3 million grant-funded pilot program to expand Mobile Integrated Healthcare (MIH) services in rural Missouri and Kansas communities.
The program, funded by the Patterson Family Foundation and administered by the Missouri EMS Association, aims to provide patient-centered, mobile healthcare resources in non-traditional settings. Through MIH, patients can receive medical care in more accessible environments, reducing the need for emergency room visits.
The initiative involves a collaborative network of local health providers to deliver in-home, non-emergency care through specially trained community paramedics. Key benefits include improved patient compliance, enhanced outcomes, and a more efficient healthcare delivery model. Contact Will Railsback for more information.
Community paramedicine programs are expanding across the country, including in rural areas, to help patients access care, improve health, and reduce costly ambulance rides and ER visits. Paramedics like Jason Frye in Gillette, Wyoming, are providing in-home services such as physical therapy referrals and anti-slip grab bars.
These programs offer personalized care tailored to each community's needs, including home visits, phone check-ins, and transportation to nonemergency destinations. By addressing chronic illnesses, post-surgery recovery, and public health needs, community paramedicine aims to reduce emergencies, ambulance trips, and hospital costs while improving health outcomes.
States are recognizing and regulating these programs, with private insurers increasingly covering the services.
