UM TeleHealth Announces New Telehealth Initiative in Miami-Dade Schools

Yesterday we formally announced a new telehealth program in the Miami-Dade County Public School System at an event at North Miami Beach Senior High School. Six schools in the North Miami Beach feeder pattern are involved in the initiative, which allows children to receive pediatric primary care in their school clinic, linked to a primary care physician stationed at one of the schools in the feeder pattern. Also, the system will link back to the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine for pediatric specialty care.

Local Channel 7 WSVN News covered the event and has a short clip on their website:
