The Bridge Program is an innovative, proven solution to provide high-quality primary care and
prevention services. We assist patients after a hospitalization, providing support and bridging the
gap from hospital to home.
We also provide in-home medical services, safety assessments, and referrals to health and
community resources. This allows patients to maintain optimal wellness in their own home. Save
healthcare dollars by preventing unnecessary 9-1-1 ambulance transports, emergency department
visits, and hospital readmissions.
The Bridge Program is open to any adult or child who resides in Lancaster County*, either in a private residence or a personal care facility. Get peace of mind knowing that you or your loved one can be cared for at home.
*Individuals with Medicaid insurance are not eligible for the Bridge Program. Contact us to discuss eligibility for other CP programs.

services to 21 municipalities encompassing over 275,000 Lancaster County residents. We

Our Community Paramedicine (CP) Program was created based on the “safe landing”

follow-up care. We currently see more than 1,000 patients per month through the CP
program.
