Social/Medical Restoration and Recovery Strategy

Fall 2020

The Region of Durham is currently 2 ½ years into the successful launch of its Primary Care Outreach Program (PCOP), pairing a paramedic and social worker to provide medical and social supports to vulnerable populations in Durham Region.

The purpose of the current project was to explore best practices and precedents from similar programs around the world and will help inform the direction for expansion of the PCOP program in Durham Region.
