South Lincoln now offers Avel eCare emergency services

KEMMERER — Open 24/7, the Emergency Room at South Lincoln Medical Center is equipped to handle any patient that comes through the door. However, access to a second set of eyes and ears can be beneficial in critical cases. This is why South Lincoln Hospital District entered into a partnership with Avel eCare — a telemedicine provider that supports hospitals around the country — to receive virtual Emergency services. The new emergency telemedicine program, funded by a $189,254 grant from The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust’s Rural Health Program, went live on December 7.
