Telemedicine Provider Increases Access to Urologists Amid Growing National Shortages
ATLANTA, Dec. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Eagle Telemedicine, the leader in technology-enabled inpatient and outpatient care for sustainable healthcare resilience, today announced that it has expanded its suite of telemedicine specialties to include Urology. This new telemedicine program marks Eagle's 21st specialty and will provide hospitals with critical access to board-certified urologists, addressing one of the most pressing physician shortages nationwide.
According to the American Urological Association (AUA), nearly half of U.S. counties have no practicing urologist, and the current workforce is aging, with more than 30% of practicing urologists over the age of 65. Demand for urology services is steadily rising as the U.S. population ages, leading to increased cases of prostate conditions, kidney disease, urinary tract infections, incontinence, and urologic cancers. Shortages are especially severe in rural and community hospitals, where patients often face long wait times or must travel significant distances for specialty care.
"With the launch of our Urology telemedicine program, Eagle is extending access to a specialty that is in critically short supply across the country," said Jason Povio, CEO, Eagle Telemedicine. "Hospitals and clinics nationwide are struggling to meet patient needs in urology, and Eagle is committed to bridging those gaps. By delivering on-demand urology expertise virtually, we empower hospitals to improve outcomes, reduce transfers, and ensure patients get the timely, high-quality care they deserve."
Eagle Tele-Urology services complement the company's robust inpatient and outpatient specialty programs, which now span 21 specialties, including hospitalist, cardiology, infectious disease, neurology, and nephrology. Eagle's virtual urologists can support hospitals with a wide range of services, from inpatient consults and post-surgical follow-up to outpatient assessments for chronic urologic conditions.
Eagle Telemedicine offers technology-enabled inpatient and outpatient specialty care to hospitals and clinics to address the physician shortage challenge in both rural and metropolitan communities. With its growing suite of specialty programs, Eagle delivers more than 75,000 patient encounters annually to healthcare systems and hospitals, coast-to-coast. Offering access to telemedicine specialists 24/7, Eagle Telemedicine reduces patient referrals, increases physician retention, and enhances hospitals' overall quality of care.
