UnitedHealthcare partnered with the Mayor of Baltimore, Baltimore City Schools, the Baltimore City Health Department, and the Family Centers of Baltimore to bring its Connected Care telehealth network to Maryland for the first time on Wednesday, Sept. 2.
About 400 students from Dr. Carter Godwin Woodson Elementary and Middle School and Southside Academy experienced the latest telehealth technology in UnitedHealthcare’s state-of-the-art Connected Care mobile clinic. The 18-wheel demonstration clinic features video conferencing and health care technology to connect patients with physicians to bring healthcare to the underserved. The event also featured a free community health fair including wellness information, health and dental screenings, immunizations, and healthcare career learning sessions for students.
“Once again, UnitedHealthcare has proven to be a valued partner in promoting good healthcare within Baltimore City,” said Mayor Sheila Dixon. “By arranging for our students to interact with this state-of-the-art technology and providing information about healthcare careers, they are helping to inspire the next generation of health care workers. It’s important to help our children see, at an early age, how hard work in the classroom can pave the way for a successful career in a field that will truly need them.”
The Connected Care mobile clinic visited Baltimore as part of a nationwide tour to let people experience how telehealth can improve our nation’s health care system and make it easier to see a doctor.
