PD Westchester Community Paramedic | ER at Home & Home Hospital at Home

Mobile Health Specialist (Community Paramedic)

Care2U was formed in 2022 around a single and singular vision to revolutionize the trusted house call: bringing back a care-full custom, while bringing forward an increasingly care-less healthcare industry. By optimizing each patient's site of care and removing them from endless and expensive hospital admissions physicians, care managers, caregivers, and entire health organizations could simultaneously improve outcomes and lower costs. So, with an 100+ years of combined expertise across Emergency Medicine, Population Health, In-Home Care, and Logistics to build from, the Care2U Team developed a comprehensive yet compassionate, efficient and effective, end-to-end Platform of services that brings together the comfort of yesteryear's in-home consultations with the capabilities of today's medical technologies, all to realize the promise of tomorrow's high-complexity healthcare. Because for every acute care need treated outside of an emergency facility, the entire healthcare system is given a better chance to, itself, heal. This is what 'healing at home' is all about. This is Care2U.
