CARY, N.C. – (December 2, 2019) – RelyMD, North Carolina’s only physician-founded telehealth service, is partnering with Columbus Regional Healthcare System, a 154-bed facility located in Whiteville, North Carolina. Eligible Columbus Regional Healthcare System employees and their dependents now have access to RelyMD telehealth apps and medical team as an alternative to in-person urgent care or after-hours visits for non-emergency injuries and illnesses.

RelyMD provides virtual health apps and services – 24/7/365 – with access to highly-trained healthcare providers with extensive experience in providing virtual care.  This web and mobile-based approach allows adult and pediatric patients to quickly obtain high-quality medical care with one of RelyMD’s actively practicing providers.

“As practicing physicians, our team understands the grueling demands on hospital employees,” said David Levin, CEO of RelyMD. “We’re excited to partner with another North Carolina-based hospital and to help Columbus Regional Healthcare System provide their employees with convenient alternatives to expensive emergency room and urgent care visits.
