Currently, Teladoc partners provincially to offer publicly funded services in an integrated manner, such as through our recent work supporting primary and emergency care in Newfoundland and Labrador. In such settings, we are intent on delivering a first point of contact to comprehensive, coordinated, and continuous patient care, helping provinces integrate and expand their virtual primary care & acute care visions.
