Telemedicine expands access to rural and underserved communities, making it easier for them to schedule and keep appointments. People with limited mobility or who are unable to drive can get the care they require more easily.
Fremont, CA: With the COVID-19 pandemic, the world changed—and so did healthcare. To prevent the virus from spreading further, providers were abruptly challenged to find a new way to see and treat their patients.
Telehealth has improved healthcare providers' ability to care for a greater number of patients without physically being present. And now that it has proven its worth, it will be around for a long time. While simple videoconferencing introduced many providers to telehealth, the next generation of telemedicine technology will have far more to offer.

And, no matter where they are, patients will benefit from a high level of care.
Here are some key benefits of telemedicine:
