PIERRE, S.D. (KELO.com) Among the changes in medical care evolving out of the COVID-19 pandemic is the increased acceptance and use of telehealth options.
While rural areas of America could greatly benefit from the expansion of telehealth, the tools– such as broadband internet access– needed to fully use the service often aren’t available.
Helmsley Charitable Trust Trustee Walter Panzirer of Pierre says they’re working with researchers at the Bipartisan Policy Center in Washington, DC, asking leaders at the local, state and federal levels to address this problem.

Dear Fellow Shareholders,
As 2020 draws to a close, we join the rest of the world in looking forward to a new year with new beginnings and hope for a quick return to whatever the new normal will be. Leaving behind the constant threat of lockdowns and the interruption the COVID-19 pandemic has had on our lives will be a welcome change.
With that in mind we acknowledge that 2020 was not the year we promised and feel even more committed to achieving our stated goals. We learned a great deal about Q BioMed s place in the fragile world in which we live and operate. With the 20/20 view of hindsight, we are excited about the coming year.
The VA Southern Arizona Health Care System, subsidiary 678GG in Tucson, Arizona scheduled 2,876 pending appointments in June compared to 3,284 the previous month, according to data collected from the U.S. Department of Veteran's Affairs.

Agoura Hills native Rishi Sharma has been on a mission to get as many on-camera interviews with World War II veterans as he can, and he’s looking to connect with veterans in the Del Mar area.
Since high school, Sharma said he’s interviewed more than 1,100 veterans, including about 50 in the San Diego area. Each interview lasts for a few hours, and the footage is turned over to the veterans and their families. He added that he also gives copies to museums and universities so they’re made available as educational resources.

On Friday, well-known nursing home personal injury law firm Levin & Perconti announced it was launching investigations on behalf of four families of dead veterans, a precursor to filing suit against the state.
Michael Bonamarte, an attorney handling the cases, said it was indefensible for the outbreak at LaSalle to have become so widespread and deadly eight months into the pandemic, especially after healthcare professionals both in Illinois and around the world learned from nursing home outbreaks in the spring.
“At this point in the game, with all the knowledge we have, in my opinion, it’s inexcusable to see an outbreak of this nature,” Bonamarte told NPR Illinois. “It’s mind-boggling to me how something like that can happen at this stage in the pandemic.”
