Congress has to figure out a way to overcome physician shortages and reach underserved patients. One answer is telemedicine. Dr. 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’s most effective state telemedicine networks. As Kristi has noted, Mississippi’s health and economic future depend on the implementation of an innovative, culturally appropriate, community based effort to improve health outcomes. She’s right. But this is also true for America’s health and economic future. We 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. But 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. Thank you, and have a nice weekend! God Bless, Gregg Harper Member of Congress P.S. -- We’re up to 108 cosponsors and 396 citizen cosponsors on the #KidsFirst bill! Let’s keep it up, folks. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
