Virtual Care
Quality healthcare by video and phone, wherever you are
Getting needed healthcare doesn't have to mean visiting a clinic. With virtual care at UVA Health, you can connect with a provider by video or phone, from home, work, or wherever you are in Virginia.
What Is Virtual Care?
Virtual care means seeing a healthcare provider online instead of in person. Using your phone, tablet, or computer, you can see a UVA Health provider face-to-face by video and get the care you need.
Virtual care works well for many health needs, including:
- Colds, flu, and minor illnesses
- Mental and behavioral health support
- Chronic disease management, like diabetes or high blood pressure
- Medication check-ins and prescription refills
- Follow-up care after a visit or procedure
- Preventive care and routine wellness visits
Some conditions do require an in-person visit. Your provider can help you decide what's right for your situation. If you’re having a medical emergency, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.
