LCHS is always looking for ways to strengthen the care we provide to our community. One of the ways we’ve moved toward this goal is by partnering with Avel eCare to expand access to virtual emergency health services.

Avel is a trusted telemedicine provider that connects our team directly with board‑certified emergency physicians and experienced ER nurses 24/7. This means that during critical moments, our staff has immediate access to expert second opinions and real‑time support whenever it’s needed.

💙 What This Means for You, Our Patients:
➡️Faster, more coordinated emergency care. Extra expertise at our fingertips helps us respond quickly and confidently in urgent situations.
➡️Specialist support close to home. We have access to a broader team of emergency professionals right here at LCHS.
➡️Enhanced safety and quality of care. More eyes, more experience, and more resources help ensure you receive the best care possible.
➡️The right care at the right place. While many emergencies can be treated here, some specialized conditions require care at a higher‑level facility. Having Avel eCare involved helps us quickly determine when a transfer is necessary and ensures that decision is made with expert guidance.

👩‍⚕️ What This Means for Our Staff:
➡️Real‑time backup during emergencies, providing an extra layer of support for rapid, informed decision‑making.
➡️Improved resources in a rural setting, where on‑site specialists aren’t always available.
➡️Stronger coordination when transfers are needed, ensuring continuity of care and timely communication with receiving facilities.
➡️A safer, more confident care environment, especially during complex or high‑stress situations.

At LCHS, our mission is to provide exceptional care close to home, and to ensure patients receive the appropriate level of care for their individual needs, whether that care occurs here or at another facility. Partnering with Avel eCare supports that mission by bringing advanced medical expertise directly to our emergency department day and night.

We’re proud to invest in innovations that keep our patients safe and our community strong. 💙If you have questions about this service or how it works, feel free to reach out!
