KHON2 TV (Fox) reported that Adventist Health Castle wants patients to get the most out of Telehealth during the pandemic. The Telehealth program at Adventist Health lets you see a specialist or other health care professional without having to leave your home. It’s a convenient service for patients who need quick medical advice, have a difficult time making it to the doctor’s office, or don’t want to go to hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic. To schedule an appointment, call Adventist Health Castle at 263-5009 to
be connected to a doctor who uses telemedicine. KHON2 said other changes Castle has made in response to the COVID-19 crisis include drive-through screening that does not require physician’s orders, and a visitor restriction policy. Viewers were instructed to visit adventisthealthcastle.org for more information.
