Emergency Medical Services in the Context of Homelessness and Mental Health

Emergency Medical Services (EMS) in Canada are a critical component of the healthcare system, particularly for vulnerable populations such as the homeless, individuals experiencing mental health crises, and those with substance use disorders. Within the broader context of homelessness and health challenges, EMS serves as a frontline response to acute medical emergencies, often acting as a bridge between emergency care and long-term support systems.
