THE WAKE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA, EMS division is introducing an additional service to their citizens. Beginning Tuesday, January 6, they will start phasing in what they call the Advanced Practice Paramedic program (APP). When it is fully operational it will provide not only a rapid-response paramedic program but will also be involved in preventive-care health programs and the screening of patients that should be treated at places other than medical facilities, such as substance abuse and mental health clinic.
