September 08 2017 - 8:55AM
Teladoc, Inc. (NYSE:TDOC) is providing free, 24/7 telehealth visits
to those impacted by Hurricane Irma. Those displaced by or who
otherwise cannot access care as a result of the storm can call
855-221-0370 to access treatment by the Teladoc network of
board-certified, state licensed physicians for many non-emergency
illnesses.
“In the wake of the devastation of Harvey, we are activating
quickly to let those in South Florida and other areas expected to
be impacted by Irma know that they can access care if and when
needed,” explained Lewis Levy, MD, chief medical officer, Teladoc.
“An infant’s fever, child’s stomach ache, or adult’s respiratory
infection is not going to wait for the storm to pass, and we’re
glad we can be there to provide some relief and reliability as
these families are facing unfathomable circumstances.”
Teladoc is offering the free general medical care visits to all
victims of the hurricane – both Teladoc members and non-members
alike. Among those adult and pediatric conditions that can be
effectively diagnosed and treated are common conditions including
