Summary
Rush University System for Health has launched Rush Connect+, a digital care membership priced at $19 per month, aimed at enhancing access to virtual healthcare services. This initiative is designed primarily for younger, healthier patients who seek convenience and rapid solutions, connecting them to 24/7 virtual urgent care and personalized assistance for appointment management. By offering nationwide access, Rush Connect+ expands the hospital's reach beyond Chicago and emphasizes a model focused on continuous care rather than episodic treatment, potentially reshaping how healthcare engages with patients in a digital-first landscape. This move underscores the increasing importance of telehealth services in meeting contemporary patient preferences and improving care coordination.
