Healthcare from a Distance

Telemedicine is a way to provide clinical health care from afar. This helps provide access to medical services that otherwise would not be available in our rural community. Our telemedicine equipment is always ready for a situation which would allow the providers at Douglas County Memorial Hospital to consult with an E-Emergency provider from Sioux Falls on a critical patient in real-time. This technology allows the provider in Sioux Falls to see the patient, their vitals and view what the provider at Douglas County Memorial Hospital is doing.

Specialty providers may also be available for clinical visits based on availability. These visits are done through a live feed so you can see and hear your provider in real-time. Below is a list of specialties that are currently available for these clinical encounters through telemedicine at Douglas County Memorial Hospital.
