Case Study: Summit County achieves instant, cost-effective virtual care access with CirrusMD

Summit County Colorado teamed with CirrusMD to help employees gain instant access to virtual care, avoiding high costs and an 80-mile drive

Summit County, a local government in Colorado, partnered with telehealth vendor CirrusMD to address a significant healthcare access challenge for its employees. The county's remote location meant that staff faced an 80-mile drive to the nearest major metro area for medical care, which was both inconvenient and costly.

CirrusMD implemented its text-first telehealth solution, providing employees with instant, 24/7 access to licensed physicians. The results were immediate, with 32% of the eligible population registering within the first 90 days and an annualized utilization rate of 66%. This led to high employee satisfaction and significant cost savings by avoiding unnecessary emergency department visits and long commutes.
