All about telehealth, a modern medical tool for self-advocacy

Telehealth is something you might have heard of recently; it’s a modern medical tool that’s becoming more and more popular. If you’re facing an unplanned pregnancy or you’re worried about getting pregnant, we understand. Looking for telehealth services during this time can help get you some fast answers and someone to talk to.

It’s totally normal to have worries about pregnancy and abortion – it’s a big deal and you’re not alone. Telehealth can be a game-changer in getting the support you need. There’s no shame in looking for help. You deserve access to all the facts and options. After all, you’re the most qualified person to make decisions about your body.

Self-advocacy through telehealth

First off, telehealth is like having a caring friend in your pocket, ready to help you with health information. Imagine being able to talk to a healthcare professional without worrying about how far away they are. That’s the magic of telehealth! We believe that self-advocacy involves asking questions. To make the best choice for yourself, you need all the facts. You also need to know about your own healthy, body, and risk factors. So using a modern medical tool like telehealth is a great way to advocate for your health.

Here are some things that make telehealth a valuable tool when you need answers.

1. Access

Telehealth lets you access top-notch healthcare no matter where you are. Even if you live far away from a big city, you can still get the help you need. At ThriVe+, we offer telehealth as one of our many no-cost services. ThriVe’s got your back, making sure quality care is just a click away. We even have a hotline where you can reach us 24/7.

2. Convenience

Life is busy, right? Telehealth is awesome for saving time and effort. No one likes spending hours traveling or waiting in a crowded clinic. For some people, it’s anxiety-inducing just sitting in the waiting room. When you’re dealing with the unknown, it helps to have modern medical options for getting care. Now, you can just pull out your phone and have a virtual chat with a healthcare pro from the comfort of your own space.

3.  Privacy and Comfort

ThriVe+ is all about creating a safe, confidential, and comfortable space for you. But hey, we get it – some things are just easier to talk about from your own room. Telehealth lets you have those important conversations without leaving your safe haven.

Limitations of telehealth

Now, let’s be real – telehealth has some limits, especially when it comes to reproductive health. We need to talk about telehealth and the abortion pill. You might have heard about ectopic pregnancy. It’s a serious medical emergency, and telehealth can’t catch it without an ultrasound. Here at ThriVe+, we care about your safety. That’s why we offer  no-cost pre-abortion screenings at our centers. The pre-abortion screening includes an ultrasound— which is a really important health check to protect your health. 

If you’re considering an abortion, we’re here to answer your questions. Having a pre-abortion screening gives you a better foundation to make your decision. We believe in your autonomy and ability to make the right choice for you. ThriVe+ is a modern medical center for women, and we’re a safe space.

Testing for STIs (sexually transmitted infections) before getting an abortion might sound like an extra step, but it’s all about keeping you healthy and safe. We offer no-cost STD testing so you can protect your health and future. Just like you wouldn’t start taking a new medication without seeing a doctor, you should be thorough in your self-advocacy before an abortion. ThriVe+ wants to make sure you get the right care, and that means looking out for your overall well-being.

Telehealth is a fairly new modern medical tool. It became more widely used in the past couple of years. So, it’s totally understandable to have questions about it. Here are some common questions regarding telehealth:

Q: What exactly is telehealth?

A: Great question! Telehealth is a virtual modern medical tool. It lets you connect with healthcare professionals through video calls or chats. So, instead of going to a clinic, you can get advice, support, and even prescriptions, on your phone or computer. Telehealth appointments usually occur through a video chat.

Q: How do I know if telehealth is secure and private?

A: Your privacy is a top priority! ThriVe+ and telehealth services use secure platforms with encrypted communication. It’s like having a secret code that keeps your personal health info safe. Feel free to ask questions about their security measures – we’re here to ease your mind.

Q: Can I trust the advice I get through telehealth?

A: The healthcare pros at ThriVe+ telehealth are licensed and experienced. Just like when you’re searching for any medical help, you should ask for recommendations to find the best provider for you. ThriVe+ uses this modern medical tool and is committed to providing reliable information and top-notch care. If you ever have doubts, don’t hesitate to ask questions or get a second opinion. Your health is important!

Q: Will my insurance cover telehealth services?

A: Telehealth services at ThriVe+ are available at no cost to you.  We want you to have access to the care you need.

Q: What if I need a physical examination or tests?

A: Excellent question! While telehealth is amazing for many things, there are situations (like pre-abortion screenings) where collecting lab specimens or performing ultrasounds might be necessary. You should always come see a doctor and have an ultrasound when you suspect you might be pregnant. ThriVe+ can help you through the process. 

Q: Can I use telehealth for emergency situations?

A: Telehealth is a fantastic modern medical tool, but for emergencies, please reach out to local emergency services. They’re equipped to handle urgent situations. Telehealth is more for general healthcare, advice, and support. ThriVe+ can help you figure out the best course of action based on your situation.
