Senator Ossoff has allocated resources to improve access to healthcare in the Chattahoochee River Valley. The Federal funding he is delivering to the Columbus Consolidated Government will help establish a Mobile Integrated Health Care Program in Columbus and Muscogee County. This program will involve a partnership between a Fire-EMS paramedic and a nurse practitioner to address the needs of chronic system users and disadvantaged residents by providing appropriate medical care.
The Columbus Fire-EMS department will be using this program as part of the Columbus Correct Care initiative to provide the right resources to all residents in need. Mayor B. H. “Skip” Henderson III expressed appreciation for Senator Ossoff’s efforts in making the Mobile Integrated Health Care Program a reality for the community. Columbus Fire and EMS Chief Salvatore J. Scarpa also expressed gratitude for Senator Ossoff’s support in securing funds for the Mobile Integrated Healthcare program, which will focus on high utilizers of the EMS system and provide necessary resources for emergency and non-emergency care to residents of Columbus, GA and Muscogee County. Senator Ossoff’s continuous support of public safety in the community is highly valued, and his efforts have made a significant impact on improving healthcare access for those who need it most.
