LaDonna Johnston, WCMC Vice President, Patient Care Services

LaDonna Johnston, Vice-President for Patient Care Services at WCMC presented a new service offered by White County Medical Center Home Health. Telehealth is a program designed to be proactive by reducing hospitalization, hospital readmission, and ER visits. A monitor is placed at the patient's home and reminds them of regular scheduled activities. Patients identified as appropriate candidates for Telehealth are screened by the WCMC home care team with an emphasis currently on Congestive Heart Failure. For more information, contact WCMC Home Health at 501-279-2777.
