This past year my specialist and I utilized Telehealth. I was also her first "test balloon." I did not have to go to an "area station" I was able to use my laptop from home. A Seattle VA computer technician hand held me through the set up process via phone. A few clicks later on my computer and presto! I felt it was a win/win for both me and my specialist!<br />I love the option of using ATLAS and Telehealth.
