A San Francisco-based Dignity Health subsidiary, U.S. HealthWorks includes 248 medical and onsite clinics in 21 states. It recently launched USHW CareConnectNOW, a telehealth program that leverages American Well technology. The occupational healthcare provider treats more than 14,000 patients a day, and the new telehealth program will allow the provider to expand its reach.
“Our aim is to help patients and their employers access the occupational medicine expertise of our physicians, even during hours when most medical providers are typically unavailable or when the patient is far from a medical facility,” said Joseph T. Mallas, President & CEO of U.S. HealthWorks. “Telemedicine enables us to do so in a way that’s safe and effective for patients.”
