Riverside has always been committed to making high-quality care available to patients when and where they need it. Through remote health care, or telemedicine, we can now accomplish that like never before. By utilizing innovative technologies and expertise to widen the scope of health care delivery, we’re able to care for patients and foster wellness in incredible new ways. Riverside's telemedicine network brings a whole new meaning to "the doctor will see you now."
Moving toward the future
With its ability to expand access to specialized care in rural areas, improve patient outcomes, connect medical expertise and save costs, telemedicine is positioned as an important part of the future of health care in our region and nation.
