TELEHEALTH ACCESS FOR SENIORS

OUR STORIES

TeleHealth Access for Seniors began in March 2020 and has expanded to a national non-profit in just weeks, delivering digital access to thousands of patients in need. Every device provided to a patient allows them to tell their story and connect with their physicians, friends, and family. Scroll horizontally through our gallery to get to know the stories of just a few of those we have helped.

OUR STORIES

We donated 30 devices to the Philadelphia VA, where patients will be able to bring them home for TeleHealth usage.

A quote from the Chief of Voluntary Service at PA VA: "We just received our devices yesterday. Loving these connections!"

Our team donated 80 devices to the West Haven Veterans Hospital.

A quote from Shannon Stone, Voluntary Services, at West Haven Veterans Hospital about why what we do is important: "It's so important to pull together now more than ever, during this global pandemic, to help and lift one another up, even if it is; one person at a time, one device at a time or just one act of kindness at a time. Doing what I do also gets me connected with outside groups, organizations and other people that I can keep as a resource for when someone has a need. I am then able to put them in contact with the group or make the connection on their behalf and have their need fulfilled.
It's People helping people in a compassionate and empathetic way. I am also Veteran and choose to work at the VA because it allows me to continue to serve side by side with my military brothers and sisters. We leave no one behind and take care of each other."

In total, we have delivered 353 devices to The White River Junction VA Medical Center. The White River Junction VA Medical Center provides serves veterans across the entire State of Vermont.

We donated 10 iPads to the Yale Pediatrics Diabetes Research Center to provide low-income patients in need. Dr. Cengiz and her staff were grateful for the donations!

A quote from the practice: "Thank you for implementing and conducting this much needed project during the COVID-19 crisis."

We donated 10 devices to Pulmonary Practice Associates in Lake Mary, FL! These devices will help high-risk elderly patients engage with their physicians.

A quote from a physician: "Thank you for your continued efforts to make positive change in our world. You are absolutely amazing."

We donated devices to Dr. Desai at Florida Kidney and Hypertension Specialists to provide high-risk patients in need of help for their chronic kidney diseases.

A quote from a physician: "From an ED doc who has seen otherwise healthy people who are at risk of catching coronavirus come into the ED just because they cannot see their normal doc and don't have the technology to see their doc virtually - this is a truly important project and I am glad people are working on it."

Doctors from across the country reach out to us expressing their gratitude for our project.

A quote from a physician: "I have tremendous faith in the future of our world, knowing your generation is conceiving and then executing projects like this. I'm very proud of you all."

This is a community clinic specifically focused on serving low-income patients.

We donated 12 devices to a women's shelter in DC! A quote from the shelter: “The devices that we received from Telehealth have been such a resource as we have transitioned much of our programming online in order to support social distancing at our facility. Women without suitable devices have been able to complete online coursework, connect with doctors, attend meditation classes and even participate in playing bingo! Thanks so much for seeing a need and filling it so quickly!

Before the drop off, only three devices were being shared among around 90 patients. Now, there are 12 total devices that the long term living patients at the VA hospital can use for appointments and talking to family.

Our Co-founder Arjun Verma recently dropped off an iPad to Oasis Dermatology in Orlando! Oasis Dermatology reached out to us requesting for an iPad so that one of their senior patients could do a FaceTime check-up with their doctor. Arjun was able to quickly fulfill their request! Great work!

Great work by our Ohio Team including Sunay Rastogi, Daniel Yan, Lauren Gillinov, Rithvik Ayyagari, and Sarisha Mahajan dropping off 30 devices to Cleveland Clinic! They have been working hard to collect device donations and funds throughout Ohio which makes drop-offs like this possible. Keep up the great work!
