Hospitals across Tennessee are facing the same pressures as their peers nationwide: staffing shortages, rising patient demand and acuity, and limited access to specialty care. For many, these challenges threaten not just growth, but the ability to maintain essential services.

At the Tennessee Hospital Association (THA) Annual Conference 2025, Access TeleCare will highlight how our telemedicine programs are helping hospitals across the state sustain services, strengthen care teams, and expand access to specialty care.

With more than 2,200 active telemedicine programs and over 6 million patient encounters, Access TeleCare has become a trusted partner for hospitals navigating today’s challenges. Our programs bring real-time access to specialists in neurology, behavioral health, ICU/critical care, hospitalist medicine, infectious disease, maternal-fetal medicine, nephrology, and more.

“Telemedicine gives Tennessee hospitals the ability to expand services instead of cutting them,” said Joshua DeTillio, MBA, FACHE, CEO of Access TeleCare. “By partnering with hospital leaders, we ensure patients have timely access to specialty care and clinicians have the support they need to deliver it.”
