Executive Statements
Dr. Michael Dent, CEO of HealthLynked, commented: "The healthcare landscape is rapidly evolving as patients demand more affordable and convenient healthcare solutions. Traditional methods of seeing a provider often involve numerous value-eroding steps, such as finding a doctor that is located nearby, making an appointment, gathering medical records, and ensuring the doctor accepts their insurance. HealthLynked has addressed these pain points by simplifying the process of finding a doctor, booking appointments, and managing medical records. With the expansion of our telemedicine service, we are increasing the value-capturing solutions that allow patients to see a healthcare provider more conveniently and at a lower cost. Unlike other telemedicine providers, HealthLynked connects in-office appointments with telemedicine visits, allowing patients to seamlessly share their care with local healthcare providers after a remote consultation."
Edward Mandel, CEO of HC Smart, added: "We are thrilled to partner with HealthLynked to bring our advanced telemedicine capabilities to a broader audience. This collaboration aligns with our mission to innovate and enhance healthcare delivery, ensuring patients receive timely and efficient care regardless of their location. Together, we are setting new standards for telemedicine services in the United States."
