Mercy Telehealth Network

Your direct connection to specialized care  |  Mercy's Telehealth Network brings together highly specialized physicians and state-of-the-art technology to offer patients immediate access to life-saving medical care. Patients who live far from urban centers often need the attention of a specialist familiar with the latest advancements and medical capabilities beyond what is available close by. With the Mercy Telehealth Network, access to a specialist's assessment and prescribed plan of action requires just the flick of a switch.
 
The Mercy Telehealth Network partners with community hospitals that have limited access to specialized care. Available 24/7, the Network connects patients and their attending physicians to Sacramento's Mercy General Hospital or Mercy San Juan Medical Center via two-way live video/audio feed and
image sharing technology to support diagnosis and treatment for optimal patient care. The Network also provides a streamlined process of transferring patients who may require the services of a more comprehensive center with enhanced technical capabilities.
