I’ve seen firsthand how effective telehealth can be to get people the help they need. With the new Congress underway, I’ll continue working to invest in telehealth and address other needs in our health care system, like doctor shortages in pediatric specialties.

Mercy Health is being recognized world wide for their leadership in the Virtual Care area. Its reducing costs and saving thousands of lives every year. Hats off to the entire team from technology to care providers at Mercy for their incredible innovations in this area.

Any idea how hard it is to do anything with DSL, no broadband here to have television consult with my VA doctors. Where’s the Rural Broadband?

One thing Missouri isn’t, is a leader in treatment of mental and behavioral health. Please don’t spread lies. Children don’t have access to PHP or IOP programs. Dual diagnosis facilities are virtuallly non existent for children.
Wait lists for programs in MO are LONG.
