There’s a new program coming to the Dadeville area that could be lifesaving.
State and local entities are coming together to bring phase one of the Patient First program to Tallapoosa County. This program will begin its trial phase near Highway 34 and Highway 49 with a centralized paramedic who will offer telemedicine in individuals’ homes.
