Telehealth Is A Gift That Benefits Patients: Vote ‘YES’ On House Bill 3498

It was a monumental task, but AMITA Health Alexian Brothers Behavioral Health Hospital was up to the challenge. In a matter of days, the Hoffman Estates hospital successfully and safely transitioned nearly 300 patients to virtual programs after the pandemic began. At the same time, the hospital began accepting new patients for virtual care.

To preserve access to telehealth, the Illinois Senate has an important opportunity to pass House Bill 3498 in the final two weeks of the spring legislative session. The Coalition to Protect Telehealth urges senators to pass the bill with the strong support shown in the House last month.

In a statement for Mental Health Awareness Month, which is this month, AMITA Health said: “Our treatment outcomes have continued to show gains consistent with pre-pandemic patient outcomes. Virtual services have been a gift that has allowed the hospital to continue its mission and support the hundreds of patients who rely on us each and every day.”

Transitioning AMITA patients to virtual behavioral health care had never been done on such a large scale. Now that the hard work is done, let’s keep the gift of telehealth for Illinoisans who rely on it. Learn more at https://protectillinoistelehealth.org/.
