Life gets busy, and we know getting to an in-person appointment isn’t always possible — whether it’s work, transportation, childcare, or simply not feeling well enough to travel.

And sometimes, you may just feel more comfortable talking with your care team from the privacy of your own home.

Telehealth lets you connect with your Packard Health care team by video or phone from home, work, or wherever you are, so you never have to choose between your schedule and your health.

Getting started is simple. Just contact us to see if you’re a candidate for a telehealth appointment, and our team will walk you through everything you need. All you need is a smartphone, tablet, or computer with a camera and internet connection. Your visit is private, secure, and covered by most insurance plans the same way an in-person visit would be.

Your health shouldn’t have to wait. If you’re overdue for a visit or have something on your mind, reach out today and let us find a time that works for you — no travel required.

Packard provides both primary and mental health care through live video interactions and over the phone. Like an office visit, telehealth provides the opportunity for care for each patient. One patient is directed to come into the office, or get COVID-19 testing. Another receives a prescription or is referred to our diabetes educator. A trained medical interpreter can be linked in for patients with limited English proficiency. Some patients set up weekly appointments with their therapists. Others are referred to our patient advocates, to connect with an array of support services so critical at this time.

Many of our patients have serious health and wellness issues unrelated to COVID-19. Telehealth enables Packard to connect with them safely, in the time-tested and person-centered way we always have. Packard’s vision is health care for all – now more than ever.
