GOSHEN – To help patients get the health care they need from the safety of their own homes, Goshen Physicians is now offering virtual visits with healthcare providers. Beginning this week, offices started calling patients to request them to change their office visit to a virtual visit when appropriate.
Virtual visits can replace office visits for most of the reasons patients schedule an appointment, namely colds, the flu, a cough, fever, sore throat, nausea, pink eye or urinary tract infection. If a patient is experiencing flu-like symptoms or may have COVID-19, providers can screen, evaluate symptoms and provide next steps — including referrals to in-person care, as needed.
