Teladoc Health Is Providing Free Virtual Health Care Services to Those Impacted by Kentucky Flooding
July 30 2022 - 11:40AM
Teladoc Health (NYSE: TDOC), the global leader in whole-person
virtual care, is providing free, 24/7 general medical telehealth
visits to residents, first responders and others in Kentucky
directly impacted by the severe storms and devastating flooding
that have affected the state. Individuals from eastern Kentucky who
are hardest hit and are now being displaced can seek treatment from
a licensed health care professional for any non-emergency illness
by calling Teladoc directly at 855-225-5032.
“As communities seek to navigate the impact of unprecedented
flooding, we want to make sure that those faced with devastation
and displacement are keeping their health front and center and know
how to get care,” said Dr. Vidya Raman-Tangella, chief medical
officer, Teladoc Health. “Virtual care is a proven solution that
supports community health during these times, as residents from
evacuated areas continue to seek necessary care when health care
facilities and providers may also be affected and unable to meet
all care needs.”
Among those adult and pediatric conditions that can be
effectively diagnosed and treated as part of Teladoc’s general
medical no-cost offering are common conditions including sinus
problems, respiratory infections, allergies, cold and flu symptoms,
and many other non-emergency illnesses. Individuals seeking
physician-authorization for prescription refills of non-narcotic
drugs can also get assistance. Those who think they may have been
exposed to COVID-19 or believe they have symptoms can be screened
and triaged for care as needed. For emergencies, patients should
call 911.
Teladoc Health responds to federally declared natural disasters
across the United States, making virtual care services available at
no cost to communities dealing with the impact of floods, storms,
fires and other public emergencies. In 2021, Teladoc Health
supported hundreds of U.S. communities hit by natural disasters
across 18 states.
