LCH Telehealth Services

To continue to expand our reach and eliminate barriers, the LCH team is now ready to provide our high quality, Person-Centered care to you through the use of technology.

Telehealth Services

A Telehealth visit with LCH’s doctors and healthcare staff will feel like a conversation on Zoom, Facetime, WhatsApp, and other video chat platforms that you may be using with family and friends, but your medical information and privacy is protected just like if you saw us in the office.

Telehealth at LCH

    What is Telehealth?

    Telehealth, also known as telemedicine or online doctor visits, virtually connects patients and their providers through technology instead of being in the same room. It will feel like a conversation on Skype, Facetime, WhatsApp, and other video chat platforms that you may be using with family and friends, but your information and privacy is protected just like if you saw a doctor in our office. Though our Telehealth virtual doctor visits are based in our Oxford and Kennett Square health centers, as well as our West Grove pediatrician, dental care, and women's health services, they are available to the community no matter where you are located.

    It's here! Telehealth appointments for primary care, pediatrics, and women's health, behavioral health services are currently available. Every day, we continue to grow our ability to provide care via Telehealth for all of our services. It is a different way to practice medicine, and we want to make sure that all of our staff know and have exactly what they need in order to provide the best care for our patients.

    Why is it coming to LCH?

    It is so important that we can continue care with our patients despite our service limitations due to the pandemic. We can still provide care without adding any additional risk to our members or our staff. And, since Telehealth does eliminate barriers to care like transportation, we look forward to keeping Telehealth as an ongoing service at LCH.
