In an exciting new development for the 3rd Ward community, Harris Health has partnered with local leaders to make quality healthcare more accessible to everyone—insured or uninsured. This initiative is a significant step towards bridging the healthcare gap and ensuring that all residents, from the youngest to the most senior, have the resources they need for a healthier future.
Telemedicine Access Point: Bringing Healthcare to Your Doorstep
Located in the heart of the 3rd Ward, our Telemedicine Access Point offers a private, fully-equipped space where patients can connect with healthcare providers virtually. This innovative setup includes state-of-the-art medical equipment, such as a high-precision blood pressure machine and an industrial-scale for routine health screenings. The telemedicine station is outfitted with everything needed for a seamless virtual consultation, including a computer, camera, speaker, keyboard, mouse, and printer.
Breaking Down Barriers: Convenience and Privacy for All
We understand that one of the biggest challenges in healthcare today is access—especially for underserved communities. Our goal is to remove these barriers by providing a convenient, private space where patients can meet with their physicians without the need for long commutes or extended wait times. Whether you have insurance or not, this service is designed to accommodate everyone, making healthcare accessible, comfortable, and effective.
A Commitment to Health Equity
This partnership with Harris Health is more than just a healthcare service; it's a commitment to reducing health disparities and improving outcomes for the entire community. By offering these telemedicine services, we are taking a crucial step toward leveling the playing field, ensuring that every resident has the opportunity to lead a healthy life.
Our mission is to make healthcare convenient and accessible for everyone, regardless of their insurance status. By bringing modern healthcare technology directly to the community, we are working to reduce disparities in health outcomes and promote equity in healthcare access.
