What is Telehealth?
Telehealth, also known as telemedicine, refers to providing patients with non-emergency healthcare, including consultations, diagnoses, and treatments, through any telecommunications technology. With telehealth, you can receive adequate healthcare through your phone or any device with an internet connection such as a computer or tablet allowing you to maintain social distance and protecting yourself and your healthcare provider from COVID-19.
