Summary
Sanford Health has launched the My Care Line virtual care program to improve healthcare services in 27 skilled nursing and assisted living facilities across South Dakota, as part of a $350 million virtual care initiative. Operating from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. on weekdays and continuously on weekends, the service connects caregivers with registered nurses and advanced practice providers, addressing various health concerns and enhancing support for residents during after-hours. This program is particularly crucial for small, rural communities with limited healthcare access, aiming to deliver timely medical responses and elevate the overall quality of care for seniors. By leveraging technology to provide immediate assistance, Sanford Health is positioned to better meet the needs of vulnerable populations in underserved areas.
