One answer is telemedicine.\nDr. Kristi Henderson, under the leadership of Dr. Jimmy Keeton at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, has traveled to every pocket of Mississippi building one of the country\u2019s most effective state telemedicine networks.\nAs Kristi has noted, Mississippi\u2019s health and economic future depend on the implementation of an innovative, culturally appropriate, community based effort to improve health outcomes.\nShe\u2019s right. But this is also true for America\u2019s health and economic future.\nWe know this: Telemedicine works. It extends care to patients by empowering health providers to increase their scope of services. It serves our aging population by providing tools for individuals to adopt healthier lifestyles through prevention education.\nBut the rest of Washington needs to hear from you. Will you help me? Can you encourage your friends in other states to join the conversation? Together, we can make a difference.\nThank you, and have a nice weekend!\n\tGod Bless,    \n\tGregg Harper  \n\tMember of Congress\n\tP.S. -- We\u2019re up to 108 cosponsors and 396 citizen cosponsors on the #KidsFirst bill!
