Meeting Crisis with Compassion - Virtually.

Avel eCare is honored to partner with Wyoming law enforcement as the dedicated team of remote mental health professionals supporting officers through real-time virtual crisis intervention.

Through a groundbreaking pilot - funded by a generous $2.4M grant from Walter Panzirer and The Helmsley Charitable Trust, and made possible in partnership with WASCOP (Wyoming Association of Sheriffs and Chiefs of Police) - officers across Wyoming are now equipped with tablets to connect people in crisis with trained clinicians at the moment they need it most.

Together, we’re building a smarter, safer, and more compassionate response to mental health across Wyoming.

Avel eCare recently hosted the National Emergency Airway Course in Sioux Falls, welcoming over 90 medical professionals from across the country for two powerful days of training.

With more than 100 porvine tracheas, advanced simulation labs, and Avel’s real-time virtual guidance, this course sharpened emergency intubation skills where seconds truly count.

The best part? This isn’t a one-time event. At Avel, we’re committed to continuing education for both our partners and providers nationwide because confidence in critical care starts with practice, teamwork, and access to expertise.

Thank you to Governor Rhoden and members of the South Dakota Legislature for the opportunity to present on the impact of Telemedicine in Motion (TIM) this week at the Capitol.

Two of Avel's leaders, Rebecca VandeKieft and Mark Johnston, shared how this innovative EMS virtual care model—developed in partnership with the South Dakota Department of Health—is expanding access, supporting local ambulance agencies, and improving outcomes across rural and frontier communities.

South Dakota is setting a powerful precedent - demonstrating how practical solutions and forward-thinking innovation can transform healthcare delivery across every corner of the state.

We’re grateful to all who make this possible and committed to working alongside state leaders and partners to ensure everyone has access to the care they need, when and where they need it.

Grateful to U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem for taking the time to meet with the Avel eCare team.

We had an engaging discussion on the future of Telemedicine in Motion, Virtual Crisis Care, and several other innovative initiatives launched during her time as Governor. It was a valuable opportunity to reflect on how those early efforts are now transforming access to care and making a difference in patients’ lives every day.

Thank you, Secretary Noem, for your continued interest in telehealth’s role in strengthening care delivery across the country.
