Community, Outreach, Resources and Education (CORE Connect)

CORE Connect

C.O.R.E. Connect (CORE) is Eastside Fire & Rescue's Mobile Integrated Healthcare response unit. This community-based service connects individuals with the most appropriate human services and resources for their unique needs. CORE is operated by a mobile, multidisciplinary team of firefighters and care coordinators. Each member brings unique skillsets and specialized training to best meet the needs of the individual. They deliver quality care by coordinating resources, developing care plans, and navigating individuals to the right level of care.

How does CORE make contact with patients?

  • The CORE team identifies individuals with complex needs through firefighter referrals and referrals from healthcare and community agencies. 
  • The team conducts proactive outreach visits and care management visits to clients. 
  • The team works to develop a personalized care plan, execute care plans, and connect individuals to ongoing support within the community.

We are here to help navigate the social and health service network and advocate on your behalf. If you have a question about CORE Connect, please call (425) 313-3228 or email CORE@esf-r.org.
