Some programs introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic made it easier for people in rural America to access virtual care, but some programs are set to expire at the end of the year .

People living in rural areas are more likely to die from heart disease, cancer, chronic lower respiratory disease and stroke than their urban counterparts.

A growing number of studies are beginning to clarify how effective telehealth is when used to treat patients.

Telehealth can be an incredible resource for mental health care, addiction treatment and chronic symptom management, it can’t address every health issue.

Researchers, policy makers and health care workers have shared concerns about telehealth’s impact on quality of care.

It’s telehealth that’s done with the best evidence, in the most humane way,” Martin says. “And it turns out that you never need to meet someone in the flesh to really have an incredibly moving experience that helps you get well.”.
