Free telehealth service for COVID-19, other health issues

A new telehealth helpline manned by volunteer physicians offers free medical advice for non-urgent concerns without having to visit clinics or a doctor's office during the COVID-19 lockdown.

Trained physicians and nurses will answer questions from patients and give advice on issues related to COVID-19. Calls will be answered from 6 to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday and noon to 3 p.m. on weekends. Call (630) 444-7411.
