May 13, 2025
The evolving role of paramedics in our community
Welcome to the third episode of OttaTalk. They say good things come in threes, so you know this will be a good one.
Today, we OttaTalk about Ottawa’s paramedics and what they’re up to in our community. We see them rushing about – but it’s not always to the hospital.
Listen now:
In this episode, we’ll talk with Pierre Poirier, Chief of the Ottawa Paramedic Service, about the evolving role of paramedics in Ottawa. We’ll take a closer look at the specialized paramedic units working in our community and discover the positive impact of the Medical Priority Dispatch System (MPDS), which arrived in Ottawa about a year ago.
