How Does it Work

Using HIPAA-compliant, state-of-the-art digital technology, patients, families, nurses and physicians at the Neurosurgery Telemedicine Clinics connect via videoconference to a pediatric neurosurgeon at Wolfson Children’s in Jacksonville. Together, the families, physicians and care teams collaborate to evaluate the patient and determine the next steps in care.
