While many people experienced telehealth for the first time during the pandemic, studies show that the trend is here to stay. The US 2022 Patient Consumer Survey<\/a><\/span> revealed that of all patients who participated in telehealth since July 2021, 76 percent would prefer to receive care virtually in the future.
