Season 3 Episode 12: Virtual Healthcare: It’s the Future and the Future is Now ft. Accenture, Comcast NBCUniversal, & Thomas Jefferson Health | Growing Greater

As the global pandemic of COVID-19 ensues, the way in which we live our everyday lives has dramatically changed. Our ability as a society to go to see our doctors whether it be for routine checkups or for more serious matters, has been greatly hindered. By embracing technology and new advances in telemedicine, patients are now able to receive the treatment they need from their very homes.

This week on “Growing Greater” we connected with some of the leading players in the growing digital health sector to learn how companies are working together to provide better treatment for patients. Matt Cabrey, Executive Director of Select Greater Philadelphia, a council of the Chamber of Commerce for Greater Philadelphia, talked with Nicole Tranchitella and Rich Birhanzel from Accenture, a leading global professional services company, providing a broad range of services in strategy and consulting, interactive, technology and operations, with digital capabilities across all of these services. We also spoke with Don Mathis from the Comcast NBCUniversal team and Dr. Rajesh Aggarwal from Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals and learned how these institutions are embracing virtual healthcare.
