“The Kentucky Rural Telehealth Summit brings together telehealth stakeholders from across the Commonwealth to help those that wish to begin telehealth, others that wish to improve their telehealth services and to engage with other telehealth stakeholders from across Kentucky to share their experiences and expertise for everyone’s benefit,” said UK TeleCare Director Robert Sprang. “We showcase the outstanding work that is being done in Kentucky while engaging national experts to highlight telehealth models that have yet to be deployed here. The summit also has an expert panel to present and discuss the legal and regulatory issues that face telehealth providers.”
