About the Community Health Section:
The Community Health Section, otherwise referred to as CHAT, resides within Portland Fire & Rescue.   CHAT delivers a trauma-informed approach to first response and seeks to divert non-life threatening 9-1-1 medical calls from Fire. Two primary benefits of these new branches of first responders for non-life-threatening but crisis-related calls are:

1. Enables the City of Portland to free up Fire resources to attend to life saving calls for help; and 
2. Provides quick and compassionate response by trauma informed members trained in crisis management and emergency medicine.
3. Provides in-person follow-up engagement and aftercare to community members in need of access to healthcare and health-related social needs.

 These programs are expected to:

1. Reduce the number of individuals transported to the emergency department for low acuity medical related issues that could instead be addressed in a pre-hospital care setting.
2. Reduce the number of lower acuity medical calls traditionally responded to by Fire.
3. Increase access to healthcare and health-related resources including Medication for Opioid Use Disorder.
