Monroe, OH (PRWEB) September 05, 2015 -- Today Mount Pleasant Retirement Community announces the launch of TripleCare’s telemedicine solution, enabling the delivery of scalable, high-quality care to patients in need after hours. Through the use of board-certified physicians, TripleCare telemedicine provides clinical support at the bedside while also helping to establish cutting-edge centers of care.
TripleCare co-founder, Dr. David Chess will be at Mount Pleasant on Wednesday, Sept. 9 to share his thoughts behind the program, and educating local physicians, social workers and other health related professionals.
