Making the Most of Your Telehealth Visit
Friday, June 19, 2020 | 3:00-3:30 PM
As healthcare changes during this current COVID-19 pandemic and more and more healthcare providers are moving to telehealth, hear from a dementia care expert about what this means for your loved one with dementia and you as a dementia caregiver. We’ll explore questions like: What should you expect from a telehealth visit? and What should your provider expect from you?
