Based on your care needs, the doctor may arrange for you to attend one of the VTAC Clinical Assessment Centres (CACs) located across Renfrew County. Here you will see a community paramedic in-person with a doctor available by video. Additional digital equipment is available at CACs for more detailed physical examination by the paramedic or a combination of the paramedic and the doctor. There is limited availability at some CACs on some days for an assessment to be made in-person by a VTAC family physician. For vulnerable, housebound patients, VTAC family physicians may ask a community paramedic to visit you at home for an assessment.
