Convenient Care, Wherever You Are. Connect with your healthcare provider from the comfort of your home.
At Episcopal Health Services, we make it easier to get the care you need. With telehealth, you can connect face-to-face with your healthcare provider through a secure video visit using your smartphone, tablet, or computer.
No travel. No waiting room. No special software to download.
What Is A Telehealth Visit?
A telehealth visit allows you to meet with your healthcare provider virtually, without traveling to a medical office. Depending on your healthcare needs, your provider may be able to:
- Discuss your symptoms and health concerns
- Evaluate certain medical conditions
- Review test results and medications
- Provide follow-up care
- Recommend treatment plans
- Send prescriptions electronically to your pharmacy
Not all medical concerns can be addressed virtually. Your provider will work with you to determine whether a telehealth or in-person appointment is most appropriate.
