Telemedicine, also known as telehealth or virtual care, is the use of telecommunications technology to provide healthcare services remotely.

The benefits of telemedicine include increased access to care, convenience, improved quality of care, cost savings, and reduced risk of infection transmission.

Telemedicine can be used for a variety of healthcare services, including psychiatric evaluations, med management, therapy, case management, MAT programs, and more.

You will need a device with a camera and microphone, such as a smartphone, tablet, or computer, as well as a reliable internet connection. We use Zoom as our telemedicine platform.
