What is Telehealth?

Telehealth is a way to see your doctor or other healthcare providers without going to their office. Instead, you talk to them using a phone, computer, or tablet through video calls, messages, or apps. This can be helpful for things like check-ups, getting advice, or managing ongoing health problems.

Telehealth is a great option for people who live far from a doctor’s office or hospital because it saves time and travel.  It’s also useful for people who have trouble leaving home because of health or mobility issues.  If you’ve never tried it before, telehealth can be an easy and safe way to get care without waiting in a crowded office.
