The Telehealth Resource Centers (TRCs) are funded by the federal Office for the Advancement of Telehealth to “serve as a focal point for advancing the effective use of telehealth and support access to telehealth services in rural and underserved communities.”¹ The 12 TRCs specialize in regional concerns and are designed to “assist health care organizations, health care networks, and health care providers in the implementation of cost-effective telehealth programs to serve rural and medically underserved areas and populations.”²

Contact your regional Telehealth Resource Center to learn more.
