Why is Telehealth important?

UMMC Corporate Telehealth has seen over 1,100 patientsHere are a few things the patients have to say about it….

“I used the new Telehealth program last week and LOVED IT!!! The people that work there were so friendly and it was great not to have to leave work for something small like a sinus infection. I was able to see the nurse practitioner at 4:40 after we closed and get my prescription called in. The whole process cost me $8.00 for my two prescriptions and about 15 minutes of time (including getting my meds!).”
