Moolenaar | M001194 | moolenaar.house.gov | moolenaar | https://moolenaar.house.gov/media-center/press-releases | scraper | This week is the inaugural Telehealth Awareness Week and the American Telemedicine Association (ATA) has recognized Congressman John Moolenaar as a Telehealth Policy Champion. "Over the last year and a half, telehealth became an indispensable part of our health care system, and Michigan seniors were able to use it to meet with their doctors and access critical resources while staying safe," said Congressman Moolenaar. "Telehealth is a useful tool in modern medicine that helps increase access to care for Michigan families, while saving time for doctors and patients." "We applaud all policymakers who have taken the actions necessary to ensure patients do not lose access to telehealth after the COVID-19 public health emergency ends in order to avoid the telehealth cliff," said Ann Mond Johnson, CEO of the ATA. "Our Telehealth Awareness Week Policy Champions reinforce the fact that access to virtual care is a bipartisan issue that requires attention from both sides of the aisle to solve for health disparities that continue to affect members of rural and underserved communities." Telehealth Awareness Week is a national platform engaging healthcare organizations, telehealth service providers, patient advocacy groups, policymakers and stakeholders at every level to support the advancement of telehealth as a quality care option for all Americans. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:17:01Z |
