Joseph Thachuthara-George, MD, examines a UAB Medicine telehealth pilot project: Telemedicine for Lung Nodules. Home to the only NCI-recognized cancer center in Alabama, UAB Medicine is focused on decreasing patient wait times and expediting the diagnosis and staging process for lung nodules, so that treatment can be initiated sooner. Extending this commitment to patients in rural communities through UAB's eMedicine telehealth service helps improve their access to health care and overall outcomes.
