Saint Thomas Health Expands Services and Bridges Distances for Rural Patients with Cisco Health Presence

Saint Thomas Health (STHe) is the leading healthcare provider in Nashville and the surrounding area of Middle Tennessee. STHe is part of Ascension Health, America’s largest Catholic hospital system and one of the largest providers of charity care in the nation. To help achieve its mission of “serving all persons,” Saint Thomas sought a nextgeneration telehealth service that would reduce inefficiencies, raise satisfaction, and lower costs. Under the traditional care delivery system, physicians and patients were forced to drive long distances, sometimes as long as three hours round trip, for routine appointments.
