NWT Telehealth connects patients in their home communities with health care providers in other locations through secure video conferencing. This means that you can see, hear and talk to a specialist from a TV monitor without leaving your home community. There are currently 90 telehealth sites throughout the NWT.

The benefits of telehealth include:

• Less time away from home or work to receiving care.
• Reduced costs and stress associated with travel.
• Access to services that are not available in your home community.
• Secure and confidential.
• Choosing to allow family members to participate in your appointment.
• Improves the quality of your care by having follow-up appointments.
• Ability for professional development, support and patient education.
