CALEDONIA â Joining at least two other Racine County fire departments, the Caledonia Fire Department has launched a mobile resource program focused on patients in an out-of-hospital environment.
The department is offering Mobile Integrated health care with Community Paramedics (MIH-CP) to people in Caledonia, Wind Point and North Bay, municipalities that the fire department normally serves. The program launched July 1.
The Caledonia program provides fall prevention education, medicine reconciliation, home safety checks, including smoke detector checks, and replacements. All of these services are free of charge for residents in the CFD service area.
Racine County fire departments with MIH-CP programs include South Shore Fire Department and the Racine Fire Department. According to Austin, Texas-based TMF Health Quality Institute, other MIH-CP programs in Wisconsin are operating in Milwaukee, West Allis, Madison, La Crosse and Green Bay.

Chesterfield County’s Fire and EMS department are bringing COVID-19 vaccines to homebound residents who have medical issues.
Allen Yee is the county’s tactical medicine provider and runs Mobile Integrated Healthcare. Since 2014, the unit has helped homebound residents who have medical issues, working with them at a more holistic level than the emergency care they d receive from calling 911.
As an example, Yee said if someone calls 911 because they fall and break their leg, the paramedics will come and transport that person to the hospital.
