Description

In this episode of the Team Senior Podcast, Jamie Callahan talks with Sabrina from Mercy Flights’ Mobile Integrated Healthcare (MIH) team—a program changing how care is delivered in Jackson County, Oregon. MIH meets people where they are (home, shelter, even an encampment) to bridge gaps after hospital discharge, reduce ER visits, and coordinate real, on-the-ground help.

Sabrina explains:

• What MIH is (and isn’t): not medical transport, but treat-in-place, follow-up, and care coordination
• Who they serve: all ages—from newborns to 104—across all of Jackson County
• Services they provide: medication reviews, fall-risk & home safety assessments, point-of-care testing, EKGs, breathing treatments, diabetes support, referrals, and care team coordination
• How MIH partners with Home Health (not replacing it) and collaborates with hospitals, primary care, and mental health
• Their role in Mobile Crisis Response with Jackson County Mental Health after the launch of 988
• How to refer and get help: (541) 858-2637 or mercyflights.com → Services → Mobile Integrated Healthcare

If you’ve ever left the hospital with a thick packet and more questions than answers, this episode shows how MIH helps people heal safely at home—and keeps them from bouncing back to the ER.
