Telehealth

Doctor's visits are essential to maintaining good health, but they take time away from your home and work life. These visits can be cumbersome to schedule and could expose you to pathogens carried by other patients. Maintain your health at home with telehealth visits with Ginger Darty, NP, and the team at Wellness Care Clinic, LLC. Many of your essential health needs and chronic conditions are easily managed remotely with telehealth. Call the office based in Cahokia, Illinois, or request an appointment online today. 

What is telehealth?

Telehealth uses electronic communication in real-time to provide you with essential health care. Telehealth allows the doctors to effectively evaluate your health, answer questions, and offer treatment recommendations, all from the comfort of your home.

Wellness Care Clinic, LLC delivers telehealth services using video-conferencing, audio communication, and sometimes text messaging with your phone, tablet, or computer.

What types of medical issues can be treated with telemedicine?

The team at Wellness Care Clinic, LLC offers telemedicine visits to manage chronic conditions, assess medication, and conduct follow-up visits. You may also pursue a telehealth appointment for issues such as:

• Headaches
• Fever, cough, and flu
• Insect bites or stings
• Nasal congestion
• Skin infections or rashes
• Some women’s and men’s health care questions
• Diabetes management
• Cholesterol and other blood test reviews
• Fatigue

The doctors can also manage issues, such as psoriasis, eczema, and hives, through telehealth visits. Of course, life-threatening events, such as heart attack, stroke, and deep wounds, aren’t appropriate for telehealth visits. If you have any doubts, call the office, and the staff can direct you to the best type of appointment.

What are the benefits of telehealth?

One of the apparent benefits of telehealth is convenience. You conduct your appointment from work or home with no travel interruption to your day.

Another advantage is the ability to maintain social distance while still getting your health needs met. You don’t have to wait in a clinic with other patients or come into physical contact with staff members.

If you have a condition that makes travel to the office difficult, or if you care for small children or the infirm, you can stay home but still visit with a highly qualified medical expert.

Telehealth is simple and easy to use, even for those who aren’t technologically savvy. No need to download specific software or create an account. You use any phone, tablet, or computer that has a camera and microphone.

Are telehealth visits private?

You can see a provider from Wellness Care Clinic, LLC, from anywhere for a video call. All data during the visit is encrypted. Sessions are anonymous, and no information shared at the appointment is stored.
