Waveny LifeCare Network Expands Telemedicine Service Program to All
 
Telemedicine is the modern and widely accepted way for you to receive the very best patient-centered health care by remotely connecting to your current, already familiar provider(s).

Waveny's Telemedicine Services Program is now available to you for just $5 a day, and if you live in New Canaan the service is FREE, thanks to ARPA funding from the Town of New Canaan.

Waveny’s Telemedicine Program uses advanced information and communication technologies to:

  • Monitor changes in your vital signs and health conditions;
  • Save you time and money scheduling and traveling to healthcare appointments;
  • Deliver detailed and continuous medical information to your existing, already familiar physician so they can provide you with optimal care;
  • Improve safety and connectivity to vital healthcare and in-home resources;
  • Manage and increase prevention of chronic conditions;
  • Reduce unnecessary hospital admissions or emergency room visits;
  • Help with diagnosis, treatment and recovery from long-COVID.
