One advancement made in recent years has been access to telehealth, the system by which healthcare providers can see to the needs of remote patients over phone, zoom, and other electronic means.
This was particularly good news for rural patients, many of whom have to drive multiple hours each way just to reach the nearest healthcare provider. That’s why right now, the House is considering a bill that Kelly helped introduce to extend telehealth flexibility so physicians can see patients remotely who may not have the time or resources to reach a doctor's office.
This is the kind of legislation that can save lives.Will you sign your name to the petition below and tell Washington that we want to see telehealth continue for the health of rural Americans?
Kelly is working to expand healthcare access so that nobody is denied care because of their ZIP code. Rural Americans face the same diseases and injuries as everybody else, and deserve to see a doctor when they do.
