The TeleHealth program at UHealth - University of Miami Health System has received a $24,500 grant from the Verizon Foundation to use telemedicine to provide pediatric specialty care to underinsured and underserved students in the North Miami Beach feeder pattern of the Miami-Dade County Public School System.
"Verizon's support of our telemedicine program will allow children to receive care from UHealth experts," said Anne Burdick, M.D., M.P.H., professor of dermatology and associate dean for telehealth and clinical outreach. "Children will also have improved access to specialty care and their time in the classroom will therefore be maximized. This program is a model of how physicians will provide convenient quality health services by telemedicine technology in the very near future across Miami-Dade County and the nation."
