Christina,
Great post and insights! Patients are more comfortable texting, emailing or video chatting than ever before. It’s something Mercy has seen first-hand over the last decade through telemedicine. This week, we broke ground on the nation’s first virtual care center, and the celebration was even held online! Check it out at www.mercyvirtual.net. We’re really excited to expand access to more patients!
