Our Mission

From the Community

"Telemedicine has had a profound effect on the level of care for Georgians. The latest cutting edge technology used in telemedicine not only reduces costs in the health care industry, but also brings world-class specialty medical care to even the most rural communities throughout the state. I am proud to support the Georgia Partnership for Telehealth and their great work in making healthcare services more convenient and accessible for those in need."

Lt Govenor, Casey Cagle

Georgia Partnership for Telehealth has been wonderful to us!  We became part of the network a year ago and it has been invaluable here at our rural regional Children’s Advocacy Center in southeast Georgia.  Many thanks to all of you at GPT for your continuing support!
