WARREN COUNTY, OH -- Premier Health has expanded its Virtual Urgent Care and telehealth services this year to meet growing demand for patient care that just can’t wait.
Premier Health Virtual Urgent Care now offers the community expanded hours and convenient access to locally based nurse practitioners, who help ensure continuity of care for patients.
Premier Health’s Virtual Urgent Care lets patients receive timely medical attention from the comfort of their own homes. The approach addresses a growing need for more convenient, accessible health care solutions among diverse patient communities and health care providers, while also alleviating the strain on traditional emergency rooms and urgent care centers.
Telehealth Awareness Week, which runs from September 15 - 21, 2024, highlights the crucial role that telehealth plays in expanding access to urgent medical care.
Key benefits of Virtual Urgent Care at Premier Health include:
- Ease of access: Patients can easily connect to their appointment via smartphone, tablet, or computer in minutes.
- Availability: Virtual Urgent Care services are available from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
- Comprehensive Care: Virtual Urgent Care combines the convenience of virtual care with care from the Premier Health Urgent Care providers patients know and trust at our physical locations. They can treat a wide range of non-life-threatening conditions, such as cough, back pain, sore throat, poison ivy, sinus issues, headache, asthma, rash, nausea, and pink eye.
- Connection to MyChart: Patients with MyChart have the virtual urgent care visit linked to their MyChart records, helping virtual care staff provide care that is coordinated while providing visibility on the visit to a patient’s established health care team.
In addition to Virtual Urgent Care, Premier Health offers a variety of virtual care options patients can utilize to connect with our providers—including video calls, phone conversations, and online messaging options. Using advanced telehealth technology, Premier Health can speed the delivery of care when it’s needed most, provide specialized care, and close the distance for care with programs such as TeleStroke, NEUROne, TeleSNF, and others.
