Tele-ER

Now at Florida Medical Center

Florida Medical Center celebrated the grand opening of its Tele-ER. This telehealth option is for patients who are unsure of whether to come to the emergency room and allows anyone to speak directly to a physician or nurse 24 hours a day, seven days a week. All that is needed is a smartphone, tablet or computer, with a camera. The Tele-ER at Florida Medical Center is dedicated to serving all patients in the community in need of medical assistance. “It is important for our patients to know that we are here for them 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, to care for their medical needs,” said Jeffrey M. Welch, CEO.

Emergency care is just a call away.
