Upcoming WebinarCapstone Health Network - Telehealth
Charitable Healthcare Network is hosting two webinars in June with Capstone Health Network to learn about how free and charitable clinics can utilize telehealth to help support their patients and protect the health of their staff during the COVID-19 pandemic. The webinar will introduce the CapstoneCare program from Capstone Health Network, explain the benefits of implementing telemedicine, and discuss potential funding sources clinics can access for telehealth initiatives. The CDC recommends the use of telemedicine to reduce the spread of the Coronavirus.
Capstone Health Network, a national social good healthcare company, has agreed to provide their high-quality enhanced telemedicine solution at special discount pricing to Charitable Healthcare Network member clinics. Capstone’s CapstoneCare™ program can be implemented in just days with virtually no administration. In some cases, there is zero cost to for your clinic make this program available to your patients. Capstone works closely with clinic Executive Directors to help clinics serve more patients; expand service hours to include 24/7/365 coverage even on nights, evenings, and holidays; provide no-cost 24/7/365 telemedicine and mental health counseling; and optionally help patients save 10-50% on dental, chiropractic, hearing, vision, diabetes supplies, and more. Capstone has also partnered with the NAFC and the Charitable Health Network to provide special discount pricing to help clinics affordably provide healthcare benefits to their fulltime OR part-time staff, and/or at their option to their volunteers.
