many non-emergency illnesses. Teladoc Health has also activated a

families. That’s why Teladoc Health will be ready, with board
certified, state-licensed physicians standing by to help these
families from anywhere, at any hour, simply by calling the
hotline,” said Lewis Levy, MD, chief medical officer, Teladoc
