(Oregon City, OR) -- Clackamas County's EMS system is overwhelmed with requests for service. Now, the county is partnering with American Medical Response, launching an innovative new Nurse Navigation Program to ease the burden. Licensed nurses will triage calls, connect Clackamas County residents to local clinics and arrange transportation, or connect them directly to telehealth physicians for online care. It's a free service. The goal is more appropriate care, leaving ambulances to respond to life-threatening emergencies.
