Healthcare Providers Meet with Legislators in Albany to Discuss Statewide Telemedicine/Telehealth Network

Posted by Catharine Young on Monday, January 9th, 2012

ALBANY ¬– Access to healthcare can be life-changing, especially for individuals who may live in rural or isolated areas.

“With telemedicine and telehealth programs, that much-needed access becomes a reality, providing access to world-renowned experts and improving quality standards while alleviating the isolation of rural providers. The possibilities are endless, from literally saving lives to allowing disabled and frail elderly to stay in their homes,” said Senator Catharine Young.
