Telemedicine provides non-emergency
The South Coast Wellness Telemedicine Program offers community-based, non-emergency psychiatric consultation services for adults 16 + who are dealing with mental health or addiction concerns. Our team, comprising experienced Registered Nurses and Psychiatrists, provides one-time consultations for diagnostic clarification and treatment recommendations. Using a case-management approach, we ensure service coordination and facilitate referrals to both internal and external community resources. Telemedicine is an innovative solution that bridges geographical disparities, enhancing access to psychiatric care. Our service is delivered in real-time through a secure videoconferencing platform. A referral from a family physician or primary care provider is required, and the service is free of charge.
