Idaho’s hospitals are essential lifelines for the communities they serve — but geographic isolation, workforce shortages, and rising patient acuity make delivering specialty care increasingly difficult. For many hospitals, sustaining local services means finding innovative solutions that expand access while preserving quality.

At the Idaho Hospital Association (IHA) Annual Conference 2025, Access TeleCare will showcase how our telemedicine programs are helping rural and frontier hospitals strengthen their care teams, reduce transfers, and ensure patients can receive the right care without leaving their communities.

With more than 6 million patient encounters and 2,200 active telemedicine programs, Access TeleCare brings proven experience in delivering real-time access to specialists in neurology, behavioral health, critical care, hospital medicine, infectious disease, maternal-fetal medicine, and more.

“Hospitals in rural and frontier communities face some of the toughest access challenges in healthcare,” said Joshua DeTillio, MBA, FACHE, CEO of Access TeleCare. “By partnering with leaders across Idaho, we’re helping preserve services, support local clinicians, and bring specialty care directly to patients, no matter where they live.”
