Citizen Assist Program (CAP)

Description:

Kansas City firefighters and emergency medical technicians report that thousands of 911 calls per year are for non-urgent situations. Emergency responders arrive to find someone who wants help up from a fall or a ride to the hospital, but who really needs many health and social services. In this new partnership, firefighters can make a direct referral from the home to the Visiting Nurse Association to schedule a health assessment and case management. The coalition serves a metro area across two states spanning urban, suburban, and rural areas with people of diverse incomes, races and languages.
