The Student Voice of Telehealth at Community Colleges

For many community college students, barriers to accessing medical and mental health care include: 

1. Lack of time
2. Unsure of where to go or how to access services
3. The prohibitive cost of care
4. Problems accessing transportation
5. Availability of care doesn’t fit in students’ schedules

Community colleges are often one of the most underserved in higher education, leading to unequal access to care services. Students need equitable and accessible student care services to maintain their wellness and support academic performance.

Telehealth bridges the gap in care by providing community college students with on-demand, no-cost services, wherever and whenever they need it.
