How telehealth is making healthcare more inclusive

Dr. Kinjal Patel, a Los Angeles-based physician and Inlightened expert, told me that the “fundamental principle [of] meeting people where they are” is when healthcare “functions at its best." She says that further augmenting traditional healthcare with telehealth services is the way of the future.

I spoke with A.G. Breitenstein of FOLX Health, Tia's Carolyn Witte, Matt Zerker and Addison Brasil of tethr, and Baha Zeidan from Azalea Health, about how these platforms are creating more inclusive care.
