The Adirondack Health Institute has received a grant from the Charles R. Wood Foundation to develop a Telehealth Technical Assistance Center.<\/p>\n
Funding will be used to expand telehealth capacity over a 12-month period in nine North Country counties to improve care, support patients post-discharge, and serve the needs of aging residents.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Telehealth Technical Assistance Center\u2019s vision is to connect multi-sector collaborators such as health care providers, school administrators, health workers, and community members through telehealth, a vital service with huge potential for making a positive impact in our rural communities,\u201d said Katy Cook, project manager, Telehealth, AHI.<\/p>\n
\u201cTelehealth has caught the attention of many in the health care field in recent years, but has yet to reach its full potential,\u201d said Cook. \u201cThe potential to impact community members\u2019 lives with telehealth technology is significant and this endeavor has the chance to impact thousands of North Country residents by improving access to the care they otherwise would not seek due to travel, work, and family constraints.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Telehealth Technical Assistance Center will cover Clinton, Essex, Franklin, Fulton, Hamilton, Saratoga, St. Lawrence, Warren, and Washington counties.<\/p>\n
