New Jersey-based not-for-profit health care organization Meridian Health selected Teladoc to launch its telehealth offering next year.

Meridian Health provides a wide range of health care services through more than 100 locations, including hospitals, skilled nursing and rehabilitation centers, outpatient centers, fitness and wellness centers and numerous other facilities and services. With telehealth offering, it expects to enhance convenient and affordable access to non-emergent care within its catchment area.

“Adding telehealth options to Meridian’s wide range of health care services is a natural extension of our commitment to high-quality and affordable health care, patient-centered practices and the overall health and well-being of our communities,” said Sal Inciardi, senior vice president of Business Development, Meridian Health. “Teladoc’s reputation for clinical quality, along with its size and scalability, is ideally suited to Meridian’s dedication to quality and to our continuing growth and expansion.”

Meridian is planning its telehealth launch for the first quarter of 2016, which will include 24/7 access to Teladoc’s network of licensed physicians via phone, mobile device or secure online video.

Earlier this year, Meridian’s subsidiary iMPak Health has teamed-up with NetScientific to form a new digital health sales and marketing subsidiary company, Triventis Health.
