Medicine On The Move
Telemedicine Program
Our Telemedicine program provides community partners with an opportunity to set up health access points at their doorsteps. Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center Permian Basin is excited to offer quality and affordable healthcare options to communities across rural West Texas, particularly to those with limited to no healthcare access opportunities. Our model includes school-based and community-based telemedicine service options.
