In this episode of In-Service: The EMS Podcast, host Jason Falvey sits down with Derek Hofmann, a paramedic nurse working in Mobile Integrated Healthcare (MIH)—a model that’s transforming how communities receive care. Derek brings a unique dual perspective in paramedicine and nursing, serving on the frontlines where emergency medicine, primary care, and community health intersect.

We explore Derek’s journey into MIH, what a day in the life of a paramedic nurse looks like, and how MIH programs support patients after hospital discharge, manage chronic conditions, and connect people with vital resources. Derek shares real-world stories of impact, the challenges of bridging gaps between hospitals, EMS, and community services, and his vision for the future of MIH.

Whether you’re an EMS provider, nurse, or community leader, this conversation offers valuable insights into how MIH is reducing ER visits, improving patient outcomes, and reshaping the role of EMS in modern healthcare.
