While it wasn't uncommon for Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) to offer some form of telehealth prior to the spring of 2020, the arrival of COVID-19 spurred many FQHCs to expand telehealth services to ensure continued access to care for their historically underserved patient populations.

 

Now that telehealth and virtual care have become integrated into FQHC service delivery models, many FQHCs who had to quickly launch telehealth services in response to the pandemic are revisiting their original strategies and delivery systems and planning for long-term sustainability. Federal funding opportunities, including the Optimizing Virtual Care Grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), are an important part of that planning process. During this webinar, Maureen Meyer, consultant for Amwell's Grants & Public Funding Program, will discuss upcoming funding opportunities and grant guidelines specifically tailored for FQHCs.
