## Resource

Fire crews in Lawrence-Douglas County are rolling out a bold new mobile health program, sending paramedics to chronically ill patients to prevent ER visits and ambulance trips—referrals up 44% already. With just two staff members, the team’s fragile; they’re asking for three new roles: a lead, an extra paramedic, and an admin specialist. These specially trained paramedics focus on long-term care, not just emergencies, and have already cut repeat 911 calls. Meanwhile, county commissioners greenlit their own truancy program, “EveryDay Counts,” after weighing nonprofit options, while schools like O’Connell Shelter seek funding amid a $200M+ budget debate—with property taxes staying flat.
