Quality Initiatives

Hospitals and doctors are not all alike. They vary in quality due to differences in their training, experience and services. Differences in quality matter more when you need sophisticated medical care for a complex condition. The doctor and hospital you choose will have a direct impact on how well you do – especially when you need treatment for a serious condition or disease.

Virtual Visits

You can now stay connected to your healthcare team through virtual visits, using your smartphone, tablet or computer. Why go virtual? It's an easy, convenient and secure way to see your provider face-to-face without having to leave home. This saves you travel time, parking fees and time spent in the waiting room - and you can also have a loved one or caregiver join you. If appropriate, you can also get a prescription sent to the pharmacy of your choice. Many insurance companies cover the cost of virtual visits, so check with your insurance company ahead of time.
