HUNTINGTON â With the novel coronavirus forcing health care facilities to limit or prohibit in-person examinations, telehealth has changed how physicians help their patients.
Telehealth options have grown since the COVID-19 pandemic began, and while it may not be the same as talking with people in person, doctors have said the new method does have some benefits.
âOne of the benefits Iâm always quick to point out is that it enables patients to receive care no matter where they are located,â said Dr. Ricky Singh. âThis makes receiving quality care from a credentialed medical professional convenient for those who donât have transportation or are otherwise unable to get care in person.â
HUNTINGTON â Sen. Joe Manchin recently announced that Valley Health Systems was chosen to receive direct shipments of COVID-19 vaccines through the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) COVID-19 Vaccination Program.
COVID-19 vaccines provided to community health centers under this program are separate from the stateâs weekly allocation, and will increase the overall vaccine supply in the state. Shenandoah Valley Medical System also was chosen to participate.
âThe HRSA COVID-19 Vaccination Program is aimed at ensuring equitable vaccine distribution across the state and our health centers, who serve roughly 27% of West Virginians, are well equipped to do just that. Vaccines are essential to defeating this horrible virus and I am incredibly pleased that our health centers have been chosen to receive doses directly,â Manchin said in a news release.
