Medical Professionals for Covid-19 Telehealth Response in Colorado

The Colorado Covid-19 Innovation Response Team has recently been set up by Gov. Polis. In the coming days, this team will be introducing a telehealth/telemedicine service providing support to ~800,000 uninsured and under-served Coloradans. Their goal is to provide health services while reducing strain on our healthcare facilities, leaving hospital beds open to the most severely ill.

They urgently need medical professionals and administrators to donate their time to provide these free telehealth visits. This work will be performed entirely from home, primarily via telephone and/or video calls. Callers will provide their symptoms over the phone, and those who need medical attention will be triaged to a queue for telephone-based care.
