Covenant VirtualCare is live

24/7 access to board‐certified physicians from your smartphone, tablet or laptop.

What if the next time you felt under the weather, you didn’t have to drag yourself to the doctor’s office? What if you could turn your family room into a waiting room? Wear your jammies instead of getting dressed?

Covenant VirtualCare uses technology to enable virtual medical consultations via computer, tablet or smart phone. Covenant HealthCare is proud to be the first and only hospital in the Great Lakes Bay Region to offer a telehealth application like this.
