Telehealth Resources

Telehealth or telemedicine services allow you to receive information and help from a healthcare provider without going into a clinic for non-emergency services. For emergency situations, you should still go to an emergency department or call 911.

Many health systems have services advertised on their websites. There are a variety of services available including urgent care, primary care, mental health care, and care from a specialist that can be delivered remotely. Read more about your choices at these links or contact your health care provider directly for more information.
