What is telehealth?
Telehealth — sometimes called telemedicine — lets our healthcare providers care for you without an in-person office visit. It is the use of electronics to extend care when you and the provider aren’t in the same place at the same time. If you have a phone or a device with the internet, you already have everything you need to do telehealth:

• Talk to your provider live over the phone or video chat*
• Send and receive messages from your provider using chat messaging, email, secure messaging, and secure file exchange
• Use remote patient monitoring so your provider can check on you at home. For example, you might use a device to gather ECG or other vitals to help your provider stay informed on your progress

* Video chat is required for appointments with PMHNP, Chandra Diebold.

What are the benefits of telehealth?
Virtual visits are becoming increasingly popular. Although in-person visits may be necessary in certain cases, there are many benefits of telehealth care.

The benefits of telehealth include:

• Limited physical contact reduces everyone’s exposure to COVID-19
• Virtual visits ensure access to health care wherever you are located – at home, at work, or even in your vehicle
• Telehealth cuts down on travel, time off from work, and the need for childcare
