For some people, even seemingly ordinary trips to the doctor are anything but routine. From transportation issues to family obligations to social anxiety, all sorts of obstacles can get in the way of scheduled in-person office visits. Fortunately, Families Together of Orange County has a convenient, easy-to-use solution. Through our Virtual Clinic, you can see expert healthcare providers right from the comfort of your own home.
What Is the Families Together Virtual Clinic?
Here at Families Together, we’re on a mission to make healthcare in Orange County as accessible and effective as possible. One way we’re doing this is by embracing telehealth, which uses videoconferencing technology to bring patients and providers together remotely. During virtual visits, healthcare professionals can provide many of the same services they offer in-office. This includes routine checkups and consultations, prescription refills, women’s health services, family planning and more.
As long as you have internet access, you have everything you need to participate in our Virtual Clinic. Just schedule an appointment, wait for your confirmation text or email and we’ll handle the rest. There’s no special program to download and virtually no technical knowledge required. For complete details on connecting with your provider for a virtual appointment, please see our helpful how-to blog post.
How Telemedicine Can Help You
If you have mobility or transportation issues, just getting to your medical appointments can be extremely frustrating — not to mention costly. For parents, an inconvenient doctor’s appointment may also mean taking time off work or hiring a babysitter. Even in the best of circumstances, a trip to the doctor can trigger anxiety in some people.
With the Families Together Virtual Clinic, you can manage your health on your terms. We offer highly flexible appointments with experienced, compassionate providers, so you don’t need to put your life on hold to get high-quality care. That means no more wasting time in waiting rooms, no more juggling parental or elder care responsibilities and no more lost work. For patients with compromised immune systems, it also means less potential exposure to pathogens.
When it comes to managing your health, sometimes simply being able to show up for your appointments is half the battle. With the Families Together Virtual Clinic, we’re making it easier than ever to receive high-quality care in the ways that work best for you.
Telehealth Services You Can Trust
While virtual healthcare offers a wide range of benefits, it’s understandable that many people worry about privacy and security. We take these issues very seriously, which is why we employ comprehensive security protocols to keep your personal data safe. Your communications are fully encrypted and your video call appointment can only be accessed through the temporary invitation we send you.
For added security, we recommend finding a private area from which to attend your virtual appointment. This could be a room in your home, your car or a quiet outdoor area away from other people. If no private location is available, we’re always happy to help you reschedule. Finally, avoid using public Wi-Fi networks to ensure your telehealth call is completely secure and private.
