134: Telehealth Services at KC CARE Health Center
This week, we spoke with the CEO of KC CARE Health Center, Wil Franklin, about how patients can access care through Telehealth and how KC CARE Health Center is operating during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Franklin said there have been a lot of changes, but the goal for KC CARE Health Center is to continue to provide quality care to the community. Telehealth service has been ramped up in response to the stay-at-home order, allowing individuals to see a doctor with their smartphone, computer, or tablet.
Recently, KC Care Health Center, alongside Samuel U. Rodgers Health Center, Swope Health Services, and and other Missouri community Health centers, received millions in COVID-19 response grant funding from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
What follows is a conversation with KC Care CEO Wil Franklin regarding the grant and how KC Care continues to serve patients in the community.
