Clark County 911 Adds Nurse Navigation Program

(Vancouver, WA) -- Clark County 911 is adding a Nurse Navigation Program starting May 16th. 14-thousand of the county's 58-thousand medical related calls each year are not emergency calls. They'll be directed to Nurse Navigators who are Washington state licensed nurses with special training in telephone triage. They will connect callers to clinics and can arrange transportation. They can also connect callers to telehealth physicians. The goal is to reduce the load on emergency responders.
