NNH has been challenged to meet the "kidney-care" needs of the North Country. While we all realize how beautiful this area is it's not easy to recruit physicians and furthermore, there is a shortage of kidney specialists nationwide. At the same time there has been rapid growth in the field of Telemedicine, with new models of providing quality care to patients in rural areas. Let's face it, the doctor can not be in two places at once...or can she? We have contracted with ZOOM.US to provide HIPAA secure video conferencing (the same program used by Johns Hopkins Medical and the National Institutes of Health).
