Access to quality healthcare doesn’t always have to take place in person.
At St. Elizabeth, we believe healthcare should be convenient and accessible. You have a lot to juggle in your life, and prioritizing your health can be difficult. With virtual health options, you can turn that notion on its head.
What is Virtual Health?
Virtual health, also known as telehealth, is when healthcare professionals interact with patients remotely. All you need is the internet and a computer/laptop, tablet or smartphone to gain access to these secure services. Virtual Health options are able to residents of Kentucky and Indiana.
Virtual health services aren’t meant to replace all in-person visits with your healthcare provider. But these alternatives do offer many benefits, such as:
- 24/7 access to quality medical advice.
- Avoided exposure to viruses and germs.
- No long commutes or time spent in waiting rooms.
- Increased healthcare access for patients in rural or isolated communities.
- Added support for patients with chronic conditions.
- Reduction in unnecessary emergency room visits.
- Stay home options for routine, follow-up or post-procedure care.
- Diverse and flexible scheduling opportunities.
- More readily available care services help decrease missed work or school.
- Improved communication and coordination of care between provider and patient.
- Empowers patients to take a more proactive role in their own health.
- Virtual visits supported by most insurance plans. Contact your insurance carrier for pricing.

Video Visits on Demand: Getting sick is inconvenient, getting care shouldn’t be.
Video Visits on Demand offers a quick and convenient way for patients to see a medical professional within minutes. Get a diagnosis, treatment plan and even a prescription sent to your pharmacy, all from the comfort of home.

Scheduled Video Visits: Connect with your provider from home.

Nurse Now Helpline: After-hour medical needs?
When a health concern arises and you aren’t sure what to do or where to go, call our Nurse Now Helpline. Speak with a registered nurse for advice on at-home or next-level care. That way, you get the help you need while potentially saving time and money.
Remote Patient Monitoring
St. Elizabeth is now offering Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) to eligible patients as a complement to help manage your high blood pressure. RPM is the collection of your vital signs using connected devices while you are at home.
These devices are cellular enabled; meaning they do not require Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection. They work like how your cellphone does when you are using it without being connected to Wi-Fi. Readings are transmitted to a portal that the RPM team monitors. We will then alert your provider and follow up with you if there is a reading that is outside the thresholds of normal.
Want to learn more about RPM?
Email us with your name and contact information to discuss your eligibility and our team will contact you about our program offerings.
School-Based Telehealth Program
Expanding access to care, to your child’s school.
When your child gets sick at school, it can disrupt everyone’s day – they may have to miss time in the classroom and you may have to change your plans abruptly. The St. Elizabeth Physicians Virtual School-Based Health Program can keep you both on schedule.
In collaboration with several area school districts, St. Elizabeth Physicians is able to deliver trusted medical care directly to your child’s school. Children enrolled in the program can be seen by a St. Elizabeth Physicians provider via secure video conferencing, right from the school nurse’s office.
This program helps reduce missed learning time and parents no longer have to leave work right away to try squeezing in a medical appointment or urgent care visit.
