Bringing Telehealth Care to Your Community!

Overview

UR Medicine is partnering with local establishments throughout the region to bring quick and connected access to essential health tools in communities near you.

Introducing: Virtual Health Stations

Higi Smart Health Stations measure key health indicators including blood pressure, pulse, and weight.

This enables patients to monitor and track key health measures, catching problems early and improving long-term health of our communities.

Patients will be able to use the Health Stations to connect directly with UR Medicine providers via our telehealth service, Virtual Urgent Care, for common, non-emergent conditions.

Where Can I Find One?

Located in secure, private spaces within select locations during regular business hours, the stations are designed to make access to healthcare easier and more convenient.
