Here are the top stories in McKinney-Frisco today:

1. The annual Frisco Community Parade will march through downtown this Saturday, Nov. 13. Beginning at 10:00 a.m., parade participants will leave Toyota Stadium, marching east on Main Street before finishing at North County Road. This year's theme is "Frisco: We Are One." High school teams and bands, first responders, businesses, and veterans will all feature in the celebration. (Press Release Desk)
2. The McKinney Fire Department is partnering with Integrative Emergency Services to implement a telemedicine program that connects some patients to ER Physicians without a trip to the hospital. The program, one of the first in the country involving fire-based EMS departments, allows paramedics on the scene to evaluate non-emergency patients. Paramedics are then connected to a board-certified ER physician to assist in providing the right diagnosis, treatment, and referral options. (North Texas e-News)
