PURCHASE, N.Y., June 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Teladoc Health (NYSE: TDOC), the global leader in whole-person virtual care, is providing free, 24/7 general medical telehealth visits to New Mexico residents, first responders and others directly impacted by the devastating wildfires.
People in New Mexico who are forced to evacuate or lose access to medical care due to the fires can call Teladoc Health directly at 855-225-5032 to receive treatment from licensed medical professionals for non-emergency illnesses. Assistance is also available for those seeking doctor’s authorization to refill non-narcotic prescriptions. In the case of an emergency, patients should call 911.
“We encourage those affected by the fires to continue to prioritize their health and safety, especially as patients may experience a flare-up of chronic conditions such as asthma as a result of the wildfires,” said Dr. Vidya Raman Tangela, chief medical officer at Teladoc Health. “Virtual care is a proven solution to support community health during times like these, and we are pleased to provide access to care as New Mexico rebuilds and recovers from the fires.”
