Virtual Visits

St. Joseph Healthcare offers virtual visits for patients experiencing certain conditions. Virtual visits are done at the discretion of the physician and are based on the reason for a requested visit. This can be ideal for times you’re unable or unwilling to come into your provider’s office. Visits take place on a secure line and feature the same compassionate care you’ve come to expect from St. Joseph Healthcare.

Call us and we will walk you through setting up a visit.
