What services at CHC use Telehealth?

  • Some of our Medical and Behavioral Health providers use telehealth. Check with your provider to see if they offer telehealth visits and/or if your next visit is able to be through telehealth.

How can I prepare for my visit?

  • Make sure you know how to connect to your telehealth visit using your phone, computer, or other device.
  • You will likely need internet access or a data plan on your phone to connect to your visit.
  • Write your questions down before your visit.
  • Make sure you are sitting in a comfortable and private area.
  • Have a pen and paper with you to write notes.

What happens during the visit?
