The Digest for Health Transformers & Changemakers

More than 750 hospitals across the country are currently at risk of closing. For the communities that depend on them, the stakes go beyond healthcare – these facilities are often the largest employers in their towns, and when they close, the effects are lasting. Access TeleCare has spent twenty years building a different outcome.

As the largest specialty telemedicine company in the country, Access TeleCare brings eight specialty service lines – including neurology, cardiology, behavioral health, and infectious disease – to hospitals in all 50 states, helping facilities retain patients, reduce costly transfers, and stay financially viable. In a new Health Moonshot Update with StartUp Health co-founder Unity Stoakes, CEO Josh DeTillio traces his own path from hospital COO to telemedicine convert, explains why demand is accelerating as physician shortages deepen, and lays out the vision for a virtual hospital model that's already proving its worth on the ground.
