Scenic Rivers to offer telehealth visits

Posted

REGIONAL- Scenic Rivers Health Services are now offering telehealth visits to patients during the current COVID-19 pandemic. While the area Scenic Rivers clinics are continuing to see patients on a limited basis if necessary, they are now using telehealth visits as a way to protect both patients and caregivers. Reception staff will help explain this process when patients call in for an appointment. Telehealth visits are not always indicated, but clinic staff will determine the best way to see patients on a case-by-case basis, they said.
Clinic staff said the goal is for patients to stay home if they can and call in if assistance is needed. Patients should feel free to reach out to the clinic to schedule a telehealth visit. If there are questions regarding COVID-19, Scenic Rivers has a nurse triage line available. Patients can have their questions answered and healthcare assessed. These nurses are available Monday – Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. by calling 218-361-3219 or calling the clinic number directly. Scenic Rivers website can be accessed for ongoing and up to date information about services at https://www.scenicrivershealth.org/.
Scenic Rivers Dental Clinics are providing emergency dental appointments only at this time. Patients can call clinics directly to schedule an appointment and discuss services available.
