Once again, our healthcare systems remain challenged even though Mental Health is gearing up to be the next Global Pandemic.
However, there is some good news as Digital Health and Virtual Care have stepped into the breach, provided an effective solution for many patients, and is clearly here to stay. Organizations across North America are looking to Virtual Care, Employee Assistance Programs, and Technology to help their people over the long haul.
