Dr. Antall is board-certified by the American Board of Pediatrics. In 2012, he founded Online Care Group, a national telehealth provider network comprised of ore than 600 board-certified physicians, dietitians and psychotherapists across the country.
Dr. Antall will continue to serve as president and medical director of Online Care Group in addition to his new role at American Well.
"Today, as more consumers download Amwell for doctor visits and our healthcare partners adopt telehealth services in droves, the need for medical leadership is more apparent than ever. Many of our health plan and health system partners are increasingly looking to us for telehealth direction and vision, not just software and implementation services," said Roy Schoenberg, MD, CEO of American Well.
