Maimonides pioneers virtual health care in response to COVID-19
One of only 14 organizations nationwide to receive $1M from feds
A virtual health care program recently implemented by Maimonides Medical Center enables patients to “visit” their doctors from home.
The service, offering scheduled and on-demand options, is made possible by a $1 million grant from the Federal Communications Commission’s COVID-19 Telehealth Program, which was authorized by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, passed earlier this year.
Maimonides was one of only 14 organizations nationwide (four in New York State) to receive the maximum award of $1 million, out of 367 total applicants.
