Church Health now offers appointments with providers through telehealth. These virtual appointments give you a way to meet face to face with your provider in a convenient and safe way—from the comfort of your own home—via computer or mobile device. Telehealth appointments save patients a trip to the clinic.
Telehealth appointments do not replace all in-person visits, but they offer a great way to see your provider, review medications, discuss how you feel and more.

Telehealth FAQs
Telehealth is a system to provide patient care and health services by phone or video chat, instead of in a clinic. For many reasons, patients may not always be able to meet a provider in person. Telehealth is a convenient alternative to offer high-quality services and access to providers for patients who have nonemergency needs or are due for follow-up visits with their doctors.
Church Health has begun to use both video and phone to reach patients in areas including medical, physical rehabilitation, behavioral health, nutrition and health coaching. As telehealth grows across Church Health, we will provide health education, preventative maintenance, and life-saving health services.
