“The one in four adults in the U.S. who live with a disability that prevents them from accessing healthcare deserve better from the industry that is essential for their vitality,” said Schoenberg. “Virtual care is a bridge that can connect individuals to the care they need, helping to overcome physical, societal, and communication barriers and a lack of accessible medical equipment or transportation. I’m glad to represent Amwell in this important conversation that’s increasing prioritization for healthcare to become more equitable and inclusive for all.”
