What is telehealth?

Telehealth is a form of health care that uses advanced technology to provide medical services remotely. Instead of going to the office for an evaluation or prescription refill, you meet with your provider by phone or video call.

Telehealth also includes electronic prescriptions, remote patient monitoring, and email communication between you and your provider.

Mental Health and Wellness Associates puts patient needs above all else. They offer telehealth so you can get necessary mental health services from a more convenient place. 

What are the benefits of telehealth?

Telehealth offers many benefits. Many people may find it hard to take care of their mental well-being because they don’t have the time to drive to an office for an evaluation or regular therapy. Because you don’t go to an office for care, telehealth saves you time.

It also makes it easier for you to schedule opportune appointments, like during your lunch break or after you drop the kids off for soccer practice. 

Telehealth also benefits your mental well-being, giving you the opportunity to take care of your health instead of putting it off to take care of everyone else.
