Telehealth ACCESS
Advancing healthcare access for all to improve individual and societal wellbeing
“Telehealth utilization has stabilized at levels 38 times higher than before the pandemic.” (McKinsey)
Telehealth is broadening access to healthcare services, especially for individuals in rural and underserved areas where transportation is a barrier and medical facilities may be hard to access.
There is a 15% reduction in hospital readmission rates among patients who use telehealth services. (Journal of the American Medical Association)
Telehealth can reduce healthcare costs by minimizing the need for in-person visits and can improve the overall management of chronic diseases — which makes it a vital resource for all communities.
get telehealth support from Digital HEALTH Navigators
Digital Health Navigators provide support for people learning to navigate tele-healthcare systems and spaces. From accessing a patient portal to having a virtual doctor’s visit, digital health navigators ensure that healthcare is uninterrupted and community members have the skills needed to take control of their physical and mental health.
