Rural Hospital Gold Partner

Rural HIT Coalition Exclusive Partner

For 15 years, Equum Medical has been helping rural communities keep care local by harnessing the nation’s physician and nurse resources to power rural care through telehealth. As a physician-founded and operated company, we have always been deeply committed to helping rural hospitals meet the unique challenges they face. Our multi-specialty telehealth teams provide a broad range of services that allow rural hospitals to retain patients locally, avoid unnecessary transfers, and maintain the highest standards of care.

Our comprehensive service suite includes the specialties hard to come by outside of large metro areas and we streamline contracting by offering a broad range of needs to grow over time. From the Emergency department to discharge, we focus on patient flow, connecting bedside teams with virtual specialists in real-time to ensure continuous, high-quality care throughout the inpatient journey. This integration not only improves outcomes but also keeps patients in their communities for the care they need. Today we can partner to bring 24/7 services to your patients and staff including: Neurology, Psychiatry, Pulmonology, Infectious Disease, Critical Care, Cardiology, Nephrology, Hospitalist, Nursing, Observation (Falls), Telemetry

Equum’s model is built with rural hospitals in mind. We offer an affordable, flexible, and seamless solution that works within a hospital’s existing technology infrastructure. By leveraging our over 200 years of combined telehealth experience, we help rural hospitals enhance their services, reduce the need for patient transfers, and drive inpatient volume through increased access to specialists.

We understand the pressure rural hospitals face, and we are here to support them by optimizing their resources and ensuring patients can get the care they deserve—locally. Equum’s goal is simple: to provide equitable, affordable, and high-quality care to every patient, no matter where they live.

Let’s work together to keep care local and strengthen the health of rural communities. Let’s find time!
