Anacortes community paramedic program finding success
ANACORTES — An Anacortes man has a new wheelchair ramp at his home thanks to a new Anacortes Fire Department program and department firefighters.
“It’s something pretty simple, but it sure meant a lot to him,” Anacortes firefighter and paramedic Steve Monrad said of the ramp.
Under a program launched in July, Monrad is the department’s first community paramedic. His job is to be proactive with the medical needs of community members.
