visits on
your phone, tablet or computer?
With no appointment? That’s right!
Grande Ronde Hospital (GRH) has
brought the doctor to you with GRH
ReadyCare.
GRH ReadyCare is a convenient,
affordable option for access to health
care for simple medical concerns such
as cold, influenza, stomach flu, pink
eye, rash, allergies, sinus infection
and more. Providers will even be
able to write simple prescriptions for
things like antibiotics but never for
narcotics. ReadyCare is not meant
to replace your relationship with a
primary care provider.
Through virtual access to an on-
demand, online primary care clinic,
ReadyCare providers are there for
you whenever and wherever you need
immediate care. Talk with a provider
via Skype, FaceTime or video chat.
ReadyCare is safe, confidential,
and staffed by Oregon-licensed
doctors and nurse practitioners who
specialize in family practice.
ReadyCare visits are always $35,
payable with a debit or credit card.
You will also be provided with a
receipt to submit to your insurance
The doctor is ALWAYS in
GRH ReadyCare—care that’s ready whenever, wherever
company for reimbursement.
“Really this is the next logical step
for us to expand access to care for
our communities,” explains Doug
Romer, Executive Director of Patient
Care Services and the head of GRH’s
award-winning TeleHealth program.
“Carena, our clinical and technology
partner for this new service line, has
a reputation for excellence in the
industry. They’ve been outstanding
for our team to work with during this
process. We chose wisely.”
GRH partnered with Carena out of
Seattle to offer this 24/7 care. Carena’s
virtual clinic platform allows patients
to receive high-quality care in a
virtual clinic, wherever they are, using
a smartphone, tablet or computer.
Currently, more than 15 million
people nationwide have access to
Carena’s partner-branded virtual
clinics like GRH ReadyCare.
This virtual care model is fully
integrated into GRH’s care delivery
system. Providers working in the
virtual clinic will follow GRH’s
practice guidelines to ensure patients
receive high-quality, evidence-based
care. The virtual clinic helps current
GRH patients stay in-network for
continuous care and helps new
patients connect to a GRH provider
after their virtual visit.
