2020 - Effingham Health System
After seeing a need for an increase in affordable health care options and improving mental wellbeing of county residents, Effingham solved both these goals with EHS TELEMED, the first school-based telemedicine program in the greater Savannah area and Coastal Empire. The program provides students and faculty with access to quality care without having to leave school. Effingham also implemented EHS PARAMED, a community paramedicine program that allows the hospital to reach patients of all ages who have transportation issues that prevent them from visiting the hospital. As a result, communities are increasingly aware of services available to them through the health system.
