HEALTH MONITORING CLINIC
Health Monitoring Clinic
This clinic, off- site, offers anonymous testing, health screening for HIV/AIDS persons and medication assistance
TELEMEDICINE
In rural Alabama, accessing expert HIV medical care is complicated by poverty, stigma, and a lack of transportation. With telemedicine, Five Horizons- Montgomery provides access to medical care in our rural clinic through video teleconference – drastically reducing the burden of travel and related expenses. Telemedicine is a method of conducting a traditional face-to-face doctor visit via real-time video conference. With high-speed internet, high-definition video, and state-of-the-art Bluetooth medical equipment, specialists can treat patients virtually anywhere without the need for travel. Telemedicine provides a cost-effective means of transcending the barriers to care faced by rural Alabamians living with HIV/AIDS.
