Located in Chesterfield, Missouri,a four-story, 120,000-square-foot virtual care center will open in 2015 and accommodate nearly 300 physicians, nurses, specialists, researchers and support staff. Care will be delivered 24/7 via audio, video and data connections to locations across Mercy as well as outside of Mercy through partnerships with other providers.
On Tuesday, May 13, Mercy will break ground on what it calls the first U.S. “virtual care center.” The St. Louis-based Catholic health system estimates that the center will manage more than 3 million telehealth visits in the next five years.
