MIH Week honors the invaluable contributions of Mobile Integrated Healthcare (MIH) teams in improving the accessibility and quality of healthcare services in our communities. Highlighting MIH efforts through a dedicated week shows gratitude for the vital role of MIH in our healthcare system.
MIH Week Celebrates MIH & CP
States, healthcare organizations, first responder agencies, and MIH Stakeholders can join NAMIHP in formally recognizing MIH Week to highlight how MIH teams have embraced national healthcare priorities, raise public awareness about the importance of MIH services, and encourage dialogue on how to further enhance the collaboration with mobile integrated healthcare across our nation.

MIH Week Recognizes YOU. Get Involved!
The impact of MIH is profound, as teams provide various services beyond traditional emergency response. They extend the reach of our nation's healthcare workforce, engage in proactive health assessments, chronic disease management, preventive care, medication management, and post-discharge follow-up visits. By taking healthcare beyond hospital walls, MIH reduces unnecessary emergency department visits, hospital readmissions, and healthcare costs while improving access to care, health outcomes and patient satisfaction.

MIH WEEK CHAMPIONs
At NAMIHP, we’re proud of the hard work happening in MIH across the country. We’ve seen tremendous growth in the industry and want to continue working to gain recognition and standardization for the field. That’s part of the motivation behind MIH Week. We recognize the heroic endeavors happening in MIH to improve health and care delivery.
The Mehlville Mobile MIH Team has introduced an innovative fall reduction program, collaborating with local hospitals to provide support for acute care at home, local healthcare providers, Aging Ahead, Meals on Wheels, and more.
Home visits include home safety assessments, actions to address safety and fall risks, and further integration of in-home physical and occupational therapy to proactively reduce the risk of future falls and injuries.
The collaboration between paramedics and physical and occupational therapists allows the program to tailor interventions to each patient's specific needs. This proactive approach not only prevents injuries but also empowers patients to maintain their independence and improve their overall quality of life.
Congratulations to MIH Champions Jennifer Rieker and Nicholas Marty. with Mehlville Fire Protection District!
