Our Commitment: Full Coordination for Effective Risk Assessment

56% of our patients are directed to DispatchHealth by a member of their care team - ensuring that we are seeing and treating patients who are moderate to high acuity and otherwise would seek care at an ER.[1]

For Chronic Illness
We’ve proven that chronic illness crises can often be safely and effectively managed at home, with far greater patient comfort.

For Those with Mobility Concerns
We’re here for seniors and others who can’t easily leave the home or are too ill to travel and might otherwise skip or delay needed care.

For Frequent ER Users
We provide an alternative for patients with a history of frequent ER utilization for inappropriate services or lower acuity needs.
