Still Time For A Try

New healthcare is launching in Milam County to give easier access for rural residents. The Texas A&M Health Science Center has partnered with a Tampa-based company to provide healthcare in a virtual setting. They hope to bring changes to the shortage of healthcare options in rural areas and shortage of access to doctors. County residents still have plenty of time to give the healthcare station a try. You can contacnt moonshotp2@tamu.edu or call County Economic Development Director Michelle Morgan at )254) 697-7000 to make an appointment for a demonstration. The station is expected to go live at some point early in September. “It literally looks like someone standing in a window having a conversation with you so it’s very personable,” said Austin White, OnMed President and CEO. The station is located in the Milam County Sheriff’s Office lobby will give patients access to licensed clinicians. The six foot by six foot space brings a Certified Nursing Assistant and Nurse Practitioner right into the room in real time. Special equipment can take your vitals and temperature. High tech cameras can help the licensed clinicians make a diagnosis.
