Delivering Prompt Care
& Peace of Mind
If you or a loved one have an illness or injury unrelated to COVID-19, but don’t want to risk exposure by leaving the house, you can get care delivered to your doorstep with DispatchHealth. Two providers will arrive at your home, including a physician assistant or nurse practitioner, and a medical technician. An ER physician is always available by phone for consults.
A Convenient Way to Request Care
A member of our team will talk through your symptoms to determine if it’s something that DispatchHealth can treat or if you should head to the nearest hospital.
