Virtual Health Appointments

By Jorge Gomez

As Irwin Army Community Hospital increases the availability of virtual health appointments, we’re excited to offer patients a convenient way to receive quality care without visiting the hospital in person. Virtual health allows you to connect with your provider using secure technology and receive care just as you would during a traditional visit.

Simple & Accessible
Forget complicated technology or software downloads. Our virtual health appointments are designed to be user-friendly. Patients receive a simple email with an MHS Video Connect link, requiring no additional apps or technical expertise.

Quality Care, Anywhere
Many patients wonder if virtual appointments can match the quality of in-person visits. Rest assured, our healthcare professionals are held to the exact same rigorous standards of care, privacy, and confidentiality as traditional clinic appointments.

What Can Be Handled Virtually?
You might be surprised by the breadth of medical services available through virtual health. Our virtual appointments cover:
 
  • Primary care consultations
  • Medication refill reviews
  • Contraceptive counseling
  • Minor skin condition assessments
  • Respiratory illness evaluations
  • Several chronic conditions follow-ups
  • Behavioral health counseling
  • Post-surgical follow-up appointments
  • Specialty medical consultations
 
While virtual health offers extensive medical services, some conditions may still require in-person evaluation.

Faster Access to Care
One of the most significant advantages of virtual health is reduced wait times. Virtual appointments are often available much sooner than traditional in-person visits, ensuring you receive timely medical attention.

Your Health, Your Convenience
Virtual health is about bringing healthcare to you—eliminating travel time, reducing exposure to other patients, and providing flexible medical consultations that fit your schedule.

Ready to Experience Virtual Health?
Talk with your provider to see if your follow-up appointment can be done virtually.
