Georgia Partnership Aims to Use Telehealth to Help the Uninsured
Emory University and Giving Health are joining forces to study how the non-profit can expand its telehealth services to help low-income, uninsured people with chronic conditions.
- Emory University is partnering with a Georgia-based non-profit to study how telehealth can be used to help low-income, uninsured people with chronic conditions access healthcare services.
The Atlanta-based university’s Rollins School of Public Health is working with Giving Health, which provides no-cost telehealth consults and discount prescriptions to uninsured Georgia residents. The study, which was launched in May and I scheduled to end in October, aims to develop more strategies for using connected health to reach this population.
“Together, we will identify opportunities for expanding our current program to allow for the diagnosis, treatment, and management of chronic conditions affecting clients who do not have a primary care home and as a result are not accessing the care they need,” Giving Health Executive Director Michael Giglio said in a press release.
