New Public Telehealth Option at Pennington Life Center

New Public Telehealth Option at Pennington Life Center

A new telehealth space, known as "The Hub," is now open at the William N. Pennington Life Center in Fallon, offering Churchill County residents a convenient way to access medical care without leaving town. The grand opening was held March 5, and featured a ribbon-cutting ceremony, a guided tour, and a live demonstration of "The Hub" tablet.

Churchill County Social Services partnered with SilverSummit Healthplan to create the dedicated space, which allows residents to conduct virtual visits with out-of-town physicians. Using video-conferencing technology, patients can consult with their doctors privately, eliminating the need for travel.

The telehealth room will be available weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., excluding holidays. Residents must make reservations to use the space by calling the Life Center at 775-423-7096. Appointments can be booked up to 60 days in advance.

"The Hub" aims to improve access to healthcare for Churchill County residents of all ages by providing a free and accessible space for telehealth services.
