On National Rural Health Day, we take the opportunity to recognize and celebrate the dedicated health providers working to meet the health care needs of the more than 60 million Americans living in rural communities.

Access TeleCare works with rural hospitals and clinics across the country to deploy fully integrated medical and behavioral health telemedicine programs that provide reliable, high-quality, and local care when and where it’s needed.

Access TeleCare partners with rural facilities to:

  • Expand their service line offerings.

  • Reduce transfers and increase case mix index.

  • Meet their communities’ expectations for local availability of multi-specialty care.

  • Contribute to the vitality and economic well-being of their communities.
