Access TeleCare has been named a quarterfinalist in the Health Equity category of the 2025 Digital Health Hub Foundation Digital Health Awards, selected from over 1,800 submissions worldwide. This recognition celebrates organizations driving meaningful change in healthcare by leveraging innovation to improve speed, efficiency, and equity of care.
“Being named a quarterfinalist underscores what our hospital partners already know — that telemedicine is not just about coverage, it’s about closing care gaps and building healthier communities,” said Joshua DeTillio, CEO of Access TeleCare. “We are proud that our work to expand access to specialty care, particularly in rural and underserved areas, is being recognized at a national level.”
Breaking Down Barriers to Specialty Care With Telemedicine
Access TeleCare’s virtual programs are uniquely positioned to advance health equity. Today, more than 215 million people across the U.S. live in our virtual catchment area, and 84% of the patients we serve are from vulnerable populations.
By partnering with rural and community hospitals, Access TeleCare helps:
- Keep patients close to home for care whenever possible.
- Reduce unnecessary transfers that disrupt patients’ lives and strain hospital resources.
- Preserve and expand local specialty service lines that might otherwise be lost.
- Improve financial sustainability for rural facilities by keeping care — and revenue — in the community.
Leading the Way for Hospitals Nationwide
As a partner to 19 of the nation’s 25 largest health systems and hundreds of community hospitals, Access TeleCare continues to scale solutions that transform access to specialty care.
“Health equity is at the heart of what we do,” said DeTillio. “When a hospital can keep a stroke patient, a psychiatric crisis patient, or a complex ICU case in their own community, that’s a win for the patient, the family, and the health system. That’s the promise of telemedicine.”
Finalists for the 2025 Digital Health Hub Foundation Digital Health Awards will be announced on October 4, 2025.
