Renown Health is expanding its video health consultation network to four rural hospitals in Nevada.
Reno Public Radio’s Noah Glick reports.
The videoconferencing service, known as telehealth, allows doctors in Reno to connect with patients in rural areas who may not have access to specialty services, like neurology or pediatrics.
Kirk Gillis is the vice president for accountable care with Renown, and he says the need for specialty care in rural areas is critical.
