The MHCC held two telehealth symposiums to highlight the work of the telehealth grantees. The symposium highlighted the work of the telehealth grants underway in Maryland. The symposium also provided the opportunity for attendees to hear about leading challenges and solutions to telehealth adoption, and learn about the grantees’ experiences in implementing telehealth. In addition, attendees were presented with preliminary findings on how telehealth is increasing access to health care, reducing health disparities, and creating efficiencies in health care delivery..
