Why telehealth matters in Iowa

Iowa has one of the lowest psychiatrist per capita ratios in the country, and the shortage falls hardest outside Des Moines and the Quad Cities. Rural Iowans frequently wait months for a first psychiatric appointment, and many counties have no prescriber within an hour.

Telehealth closes that gap. It matters particularly in farm communities, where distance and stigma both work against seeking care and an appointment from home is private in a way a small town waiting room is not.
