TELEHEALTH

Healthcare from your home

Our healthcare facility is now using telehealth, or virtual appointments, to reduce the risk of potential viral transmission between healthy and affected patients at our facility. Now you can have a consultation with a clinician or the care team from the comfort of your own home.

What you will need

• A working laptop, tablet or smart phone with a front camera.
• A fully charged device, or access to power.
• An internet connection.
• Your email address.
• A well-lit space so the doctor or nurse can see you.
• A quiet space to reduce distractions.
• Headphones that connect to your device for clear audio and to protect your privacy.

You can be sure you have what you need to join a virtual appointment, by joining a test meeting at any time before.
