What is Telehealth?
Telehealth allows you to consult with licensed healthcare providers—including physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and mental health professionals—remotely using secure audio and video technology via your phone, computer, or tablet.

Eliminates the need for travel, time off work, or childcare.
-
Shorter wait times for appointments.
-
Access to specialists who may not be available locally.

-
Technical limitations (e.g., poor video quality) may hinder diagnosis or treatment.
-
Equipment failures may delay care or result in incomplete assessments.
