What is TeleHealth?
TeleHealth is the delivery of healthcare at a distance. SummitStone Health Partners is utilizing live video conferencing to provide real-time, face-to-face care with a provider located at a different location from you, the client.
TeleHealth Benefits:

What to Expect with Your TeleHealth Visit?
- We use encrypted digital technologies to provide client care, professional consultations, and education at a distance.

Come prepared just like you would to a regular doctor’s appointment.
Be sure to bring:
- A valid ID and a current copy of your insurance card.
- A list of everything you can remember about your symptoms and include details like when symptoms started and what makes them better or worse.
- All prescription and over-the-counter medications as well as supplements you are currently taking.
- Expect to have your vitals reviewed. Vital signs are aptly named – they are vital pieces of information to your health. Vitals include heart rate, weight, respiration, blood pressure, level of alertness, and general appearance.
- Expect to have your provider “see” you and communicate in real time with you and your family in a private office.
- Expect to have all of your questions answered – just as if you are in the same room with your provider.
- Expect to have efficient and effective care – your provider will create a care plan just for you.
- Expect that any prescriptions ordered by your provider can be sent directly to your pharmacy.
