Telehealth Provider TimelyCare Grows Leadership Team to Support Continued Growth as COVID Cases Rise

(FORT WORTH, Texas) — TimelyMD, the leading telehealth company focused on higher education, has added new leadership positions to fuel its rapid and continuous growth as telemedicine and teletherapy remain in high demand on college campuses — particularly as the Delta variant threatens students’ hopes for a more “normal” semester.

Through its proprietary TimelyCare technology, TimelyMD offers free and immediate virtual medical and/or mental health care support to students at more than 100 college and university partner schools – including Duke University, Emory University, Georgetown University, Johns Hopkins University, Los Rios Community College District, Middlebury College and Paul Quinn College – with licensed providers available 24/7 in all 50 states.

A recent $60 million investment from JMI Equity has accelerated TimelyMD’s recruitment of transformative new leaders from healthcare, tech and creative sectors.
