Online services from the comfort of your own home

What is Telehealth?
Telehealth is the use of technology to remotely provide clinical services, which includes a range of options such as using a landline telephone, cell phone, and internet, as well as text, email, and interactive video-conferencing. Telehealth involves a health care provider’s medical care delivered to clients physically located at sites other than where the provider is located.
