HARLINGEN, Texas (ValleyCentral) — The South Texas Emergency Care Foundation in Harlingen is launching a new program for community members in need of a medical service. The Community Health Paramedicine program allows paramedics to deliver health care in patients homes via truck rather than an ambulance unit. 'Community Health Paramedicine is a little bit different than our typical 911 response that we think about,' Mckenzie Ford, Project Coordinator at STEC said. 'We have a smaller response vehicle, it's a little bit less intimidating.
