DOROT is pleased to sponsor an upcoming zoom event on March 5 with Senator Liz Kreuger's office - Virtual Town Hall on Telehealth Basics: What It Is, and How to Access the Service.
If you have questions about what telehealth is, how to make the most of your telehealth visit, or how to get online to use the telehealth service - this is the event for you!
On Friday, March 5 from 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm, Dr. Sarah Czaja, Director for the Center on Aging and Behavioral Research at Weill Cornell, will join Senator Liz Krueger to provide an overview of what telehealth is, when to use it, and how to get the most out of your virtual telehealth care visit.
Lorraine Voytek, Director of DOROT's Connect Through Tech Programs, will also be a featured speaker.
After Dr. Czaja’s presentation, hospital representatives will host breakout rooms for a workshop on how to make a virtual visit with your specific health network doctor. During this portion of the program, hospital representatives will share information about your network’s portal, how to make an appointment online, and answer your technology-related questions about telehealth.
Participating Hospitals Include:
- Bellevue

- Memorial Sloan Kettering
