The Children’s Partnership (TCP) released an Issue Brief, “Meeting the Health Care Needs of California’s Children: The Role of Telemedicine,” today to inform leaders and the public of how telemedicine can address the health care needs of California’s children. The brief pays particular attention to children who are low-income and living in medically underserved areas.
