Ritter Launches Rural Health Initiative

UnitedHealthcare announced it will launch the Connected Care program in Colorado, giving rural patients expanded access to physicians and specialists using advanced telehealth technology. The Colorado program is among the first in its work with Cisco and others to build a national telehealth network. UnitedHealthcare is partnering with the State of Colorado and Centura Health, with assistance from the Colorado Rural Health Center, to implement this innovative program that leverages advanced technology to give residents access to physicians when in-person visits are not possible.
