Why telehealth matters in New York

New York City has one of the densest concentrations of psychiatric clinicians anywhere, and much of it is out of network and out of reach. Upstate is the opposite problem: the North Country, the Southern Tier, and the western rural counties have very few prescribers and long waits. The state contains both extremes of the access problem at once.

Telehealth serves patients anywhere in New York State. For upstate patients it replaces a drive that often does not exist as an option; for city patients it replaces a waitlist.
