Because of the flexibility it offers, there are many benefits to using virtual care:

Avoid illnesses

With the ability to stay at home rather than risk exposure to infectious diseases like colds and the flu, virtual care continues to be a safe and reliable option for immunocompromised individuals, or those who simply want to minimize their contact with germs at the clinic.

Get in touch with your primary care provider

With online patient portals like MyChart, you can keep track of your health history and easily meet with your primary care physician (PCP) on a regular basis, or however frequently you need to. MyChart can help you schedule virtual check-ups in a matter of clicks.

Access behavioral health support

Virtual care can quickly connect you with a licensed behavioral health clinician for mental health assessments, counseling and other services via phone or video. Virtual capabilities also enable access to support and resources when you’re between appointments.

Manage chronic conditions

If you have a chronic condition that requires ongoing management, meeting virtually with your physician or specialist can save you time on regular visits and make it easy to refill your prescriptions so you never have to worry about running out of the medication you need.
