What is Telemedicine?
Telemedicine allows you to see a provider that is located at another facility without requiring you to travel to the provider’s location for an appointment. This visit is made possible by your personal computer/laptop with a working webcam or a mobile device, such as a smartphone or tablet. During an EmotionalWellnessNow appointment, you and the provider will see and hear each other, creating an opportunity to discuss health concerns and care plans.
