Wilson Memorial General Hospital

This telehealth system is one of the newest additions to Wilson Memorial General Hospital.

What is Telehealth?

Telehealth is the use of electronic information and telecommunications technologies to support long-distance clinical health care, patient and professional health-related education, public health and health administration.

Telehealth allows patients to see doctors from hospitals out of our region and to do follow-up appointments or have regular appointments with specialists outside of our region, without having to travel.

Technologies used in telehealth - videoconferencing, the Internet store-and-forward imaging, streaming media, satellite and wireless communications - already exist, but are not part of the regular landscape of our rural and urban underserved people.
