THE ANN P. MILLER CHARITABLE TRUST SUPPORTS LAUNCH OF COMMUNITY TELEMEDICINE CLINIC
As part of its “for all” mission, Atrium Health is committed to not only caring for patients across its 1,500 care locations, but to bringing hope to every corner of the communities it serves. Over the past few years, Atrium Health has continued to develop innovative telemedicine solutions to reach residents living in areas with limited access to care.
Now, with a $25,000 grant from the Ann P. Miller Charitable Trust – created by Ms. Miller’s estate gift in 2016 to benefit Atrium Health patient and community programs – Atrium Health’s experienced telemedicine team will pilot a program that will provide the vulnerable community around the I-85/Sugar Creek intersection with exceptional access to care. Atrium Health has partnered with Northside Baptist Church to house the telehealth clinic and serve individuals and families within their rhythm of life.
Through the Atrium Health Community Telemedicine Clinic at Northside Baptist Church, an onsite health care technician will assist in the completion of an enhanced video visit, which may include either primary or specialty care for children and adults. Using secure and innovative technologies, a medical provider located remotely will complete a comprehensive health exam and develop a treatment plan including prescriptions, follow-up care, and connections to social services when needed.
Atrium Health already has demonstrated success utilizing community telemedicine. Currently, the health system operates virtual clinics in over 30 schools across Lincoln and Cleveland Counties, as well as within Kannapolis City Schools.
