We’ve all been there: You’re feeling under the weather and you need to see the doctor – but your primary care provider doesn’t have any same-day appointments open.

What’s a patient to do?

Now, with St. Tammany Health System’s Virtual Care Now program, you can get the same-day appointment over your smart phone or tablet – and without even leaving your house.

STHS Nurse Practitioner Laura Read recently visited The Lake 94.7-FM studios in Covington to explain to host Charles Dowdy how it all works.

Listen in to their conversation in the audio player below. You can also learn more about Virtual Care Now at StTammany.health/VideoVisit.
