TTMC may contact local emergency medical providers to come to a patient’s location if, in the provider’s professional judgment, a patient is experiencing an emergent or urgent medical issue, or a patient potentially poses a danger to himself or to others.
TTMC providers are committed to providing appropriate clinical care. If a provider believes more intensive treatment is indicated for a patient, the provider may issue referrals for such care which can include, without limitation, admission to inpatient programs.
