County Executive Ike Leggett will announce that he is sending to the County Council a supplemental appropriation of more than $400,000 to begin to fully implement a bold, new program to serve frequent callers for County ambulance services more effectively and with better health outcomes.
The Montgomery County Mobile Integrated Healthcare program is a collaborative effort by the County Fire & Rescue Service and the County Department of Health & Human Services designed to reduce the growth rate of system demands on the County’s Emergency Medical Services and provide better health care for County residents who are frequent ambulance users.
