Join us to celebrate the Reproductive Health Access Network: 15 years & counting!
Telehealth services have emerged as an important tool for expanding access and availability of patient-centered reproductive health care, including contraception, abortion, and early pregnancy loss care. While telehealth will not remove all barriers and enhance equity for all, it is one important option that RHAP is prepared to support health care workers to implement and sustain even after the COVID-19 pandemic. Below are resources compiled from RHAP, partners, and outside entities that can support your work as telehealth reproductive health care providers. Some resources may reflect needs pertinent to the COVID-19 pandemic, but they still offer key considerations for providing telehealth reproductive health care.
If you have a resource that you would like us to include or create, or if you have questions or resources that you are looking for, please reach out to us at info@reproductiveaccess.org. Please feel free to use and adapt RHAP resources according to our copyright.
