BERWICK, Pa., Aug. 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Breezeline, a leading internet, TV, phone and wireless service provider in the U.S., hosted a digital learning seminar on August 5 to empower older adults in Pennsylvania with the knowledge and skills to access healthcare services remotely via their computers, tablets, and other personal devices.
The telehealth seminar was held at the Berwick Senior Center in Berwick in partnership with Cyber-Seniors, a non-profit organization that provides technology training and digital mentoring to seniors via an intergenerational, volunteer model.
“We are thankful for Breezeline’s commitment to our seniors. Programs like this ensure older adults in Berwick understand how to use technology,” said Jan Banko, manager of the Berwick Senior Center.
According to Cyber-Seniors, telehealth services lead to more convenient and accessible patient care. Telemedicine is particularly impactful for patients with mobility issues and patients in rural areas. Knowledge of and access to telehealth technology can reduce non-urgent emergency room visits and increase older adults’ chances of living independently.
