A new program in Wyandotte County, Kansas, is working to reduce the strain on the health care system. … WYCO Care Connection is bringing non-emergency care right to people’s homes. “When we talk about people who frequently use 911 calls or emergency rooms, we’re talking about hundreds of times a year,” said Patrick Sallee, President and CEO of Vibrant Health in Kansas City, Kansas. Those patients are the reason behind the new WYCO Care Connection program, to help people who frequently rely on emergency services because they don’t know where else to turn. “Some of it is other social services and other support that they need in their home,” Sallee said. “They don’t have a solution. They can’t find what they need on their own and so they’re calling for assistance.”
