Rachel Duell
The first faces you might see on a visit to the emergency room at Payson Regional Medical Center are likely to be emergency room registration clerks, Rachel Duell and Dawn Tatum. Duell, left, moved to Payson from Seattle five years ago. "The first time I came through Payson, it was night time," Duell said. "I remember seeing older couples outside walking together. It seems they felt safe. That's what drew me here. That's what I wanted." Tatum, a Gisela resident, has lived in Rim Country for twenty years and has seen many changes. "I know it's not as small as it used to be, but it's still small enough and I love it. I would never want to go back to the Valley and live in a big city again."
