Case Study: Granville Vance Public Health expands telehealth access with Eko Health

Granville Vance Public Health - Customer Case Study

Eko Health helped Granville Vance Public Health, a public health department with four clinics in North Carolina, address a challenge. The sole physician, Dr. Shauna Guthrie, needed a way to provide care across all locations without increasing staffing. Her specific need was to implement clinic-to-clinic telemedicine to coordinate with staff and assess patients virtually from any clinic.

The solution involved outfitting each clinic with Eko's telemedicine technology, which integrates the CORE Digital Stethoscope. Eko's software maintained a stable audio connection even during video calls, enabling seamless virtual exams. This allowed Dr. Guthrie to conduct more real-time assessments, reduce follow-up appointments, and create a new billable service. The implementation lowered no-show rates and was made cost-effective with only a few visits per year, increasing access to care without added staffing costs.
