LGH Health Anywhere: 24/7 Virtual Medical Care

LGH Health Anywhere, developed by Lafayette General Health System Inc., is a virtual medical care service that lets you speak to a provider 24/7 via a virtual video chat. You can receive care for common ailments on your own time, from anywhere, and it is both easy to use and secure. With LGH Health Anywhere, you can consult a provider for symptoms such as cold, flu, allergies, sore throat, rash, sinus infection, and fever. The service is accessible via mobile or web, and you can pay online using your credit card. You can also get prescriptions sent to your pharmacy.

The app is especially helpful during overnight hours, when you are on vacation or work, or when you cannot make it to the doctor’s office. If you use Apple Health, you can share your health information with the provider during your virtual video visit, such as heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, blood glucose levels, weight, nutritional information, and respiratory rate. However, in case of emergencies, it is important to dial 911 immediately.
