Virtual Visitation
The virtual visitation program allows patients to connect with requested visitors who cannot be with them while they are in the hospital. The program allows family and friends to visit over a secure video network when face-to-face interaction is not possible.
Lugar Center Partnering to Enhance Rural Cardiac Care
Union Hospital's Richard G. Lugar Center for Rural Health, a nationally recognized leader in the development of telemedicine services, has partnered with local rural Emergency Medical Services (EMS) providers to incorporate state-of-the-art technology that will significantly benefit rural heart attack patients. A grant from the US Department of Health and Human Services' Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Office for the Advancement of Telehealth (OAT) will enable the center to equip rural ambulances with the technology to provide rural patients with the highest level of cardiac care available (Grant # H2ARH20178).
Wabash Valley Rural Telehealth Network Expands Service
Union Hospital Clinton now offers telepulmonology services. As with other telemedicine services provided by Union Hospital Clinton, physicians will be able to remotely consult with a pulmonary specialist to most effectively and efficiently treat patients, and provide a higher level of specialty care. The program will save many patients both time and money by treating cases that would normally require transfer to another facility.
