Telehealth Services for new patients
What is telehealth?
Telehealth is a tool with many benefits that can help connect your child to many different types of health care services. It may use various technologies such as live, interactive audio and video, and special diagnostic tools. These services can be used in addition to in-person visits with a pediatrician or pediatric specialist.
Telehealth can provide health care services at times and places where families and caregivers may not usually be able to get those services. For example, pediatric specialists practicing in large cities can use telehealth to see children who live hundreds of miles away in small community emergency departments. Some pediatricians can also examine your child through your home computer or a computer in your child’s school or child-care setting.
