e-Health and Tele-Health

You might be able to use virtual care if:

  • your provider offers it
  • you're seeing an off-island specialist
  • if you don't have a primary care provider, in which case you may be eligible for the free Virtual Care Program.

Through virtual visits, providers can assess, treat, educate, prescribe, and order tests. You always have the choice to decline a virtual visit.

For non-emergency health information, call 8-1-1 to speak with a registered nurse, 24 hours a day.
