The Charlottesville-based urologists are remotely seeing patients who come to the Health Wagon, a Wise, Va.-based mobile clinic. At the Health Wagon, nurse practitioners prepare the patient, while an off-site urologist views the patient over a webcam. The goal of the program is to bring healthcare access to under- or uninsured southwest Virginian residents who otherwise would have had to travel almost five hours to reach their nearest urologist.
This telemedicine program is funded by the American Cancer Society and the state of Virginia, according to News 5 WCYB.
