About Us
Our team
Oregon TeleMed
Cascade Medical Associates started a TeleMed program in response to the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. We were able to mobilize resources to provide Covid-19 testing and medical assessment, initiate treatment, counsel patients and help people through the challenges of the pandemic. We have now grown to include daily TeleMed access, usually getting appointments within 24 hours or sooner. We have completed over 10,000 patient visits with great reviews and outcomes. We are open for community access to help when patients can’t get into their PCP or they want the convenience of a quick and efficient visit without having to travel to the doctor’s office. We also partner with businesses to provide TeleMed assessment of patients when they may fall ill while at work, to help assess their medical needs and try to get them back to work as soon as possible.
