LINCOLN, Neb. (RFD-TV)— With many patients with chronic conditions living miles from specialists — and with winter travel concerns increasing — telehealth is becoming an option worth considering for rural Americans. On today’s segment of Rural Health Matters, we focus on ways to manage chronic conditions remotely.
Dr. Jeffrey Gold, President of the University of Nebraska, joined us to break down what telehealth entails and which conditions can be managed through remote appointments. He also explained why this improved healthcare technology can be especially valuable for rural communities that often lack access to specialty care, and how this approach can help bridge those gaps.
With winter weather making travel even more challenging, Dr. Gold also shared guidance on how viewers can get started with telehealth services and what steps they should take to ensure a smooth digital experience.
