Telehealth
Lourdes At Home has implemented Telehealth monitoring technology
that will help patients monitor their blood pressure, heart rate,
temperature, weight, and oxygen level in the comfort of their own
home. This device uses the telephone line to send the
information to a nurse at Lourdes At Home. Seven days a week
a nurse reviews the information to be sure all measurements are
normal and acceptable.
Patients who benefit most from Telehealth are those who have
chronic conditions such as heart disease, respiratory disease,
diabetes, high blood pressure and asthma. Patients who are
monitored with Telehealth have a reduced number of ambulance calls,
Emergency Room visits, and hospitalizations.

Home or to speak to a nurse directly, please call
