Why Fall is the Perfect Time to Try a Video Visit

As the crisp fall air rolls in, the changing season brings more than just colorful leaves and cooler temperatures. Along with it comes seasonal allergies and flu season. For many, this time of year also means juggling busy schedules—whether it's getting the kids back to school, adjusting to a return to the office, or navigating the demands of working from home. In the midst of it all, keeping up with your health can often take a back seat.

With MHHC's video visits, taking care of your health—and your family’s—has never been more convenient. You can now access quality healthcare from the comfort of your home, without the stress of commuting, finding parking, or waiting for time-off approval.

What is a Video Visit?

A video visit is a secure, quick, and convenient way to connect with your MHHC healthcare provider from wherever you are. Whether you’re at home or on a lunch break, you can access your doctor and care team using your mobile phone, tablet, or computer. And the best part? No traffic, no parking fees, no time wasted sitting in waiting rooms.

Why are Video Visits a Game-Changer for Parents?

Now that school is in full swing, it's easy to overlook those pesky seasonal symptoms like a runny nose or scratchy throat, chalking them up to allergies or a minor cold. But as flu season ramps up and COVID-19 spreads, it's more important than ever to stay on top of your family's health. Video visits allow you to consult with your doctor about symptoms, treatments, and prevention, all without stepping foot in the clinic.

For busy parents, this service is especially beneficial. Between coordinating school drop-offs, after-school activities, and work commitments, finding time to schedule an in-person appointment can feel overwhelming. A video visit fits seamlessly into your day, allowing you to focus on your health without interrupting your schedule.

What Can Be Treated During a Video Visit?

With a video visit, you can address a wide range of common health concerns, from seasonal allergies to cold and flu-like symptoms. Your doctor can provide guidance on home treatments, recommend over-the-counter medications, or even prescribe medications when appropriate. While video visits are convenient and flexible, it's important to note that some medical concerns may require an in-person visit. If your doctor determines that your symptoms need a closer examination, they will guide you on the next steps for in-office care.

MHHC is here to provide the care you need when you need it. Whether you’re feeling under the weather or simply want to stay on top of routine check-ups, a video visit is a convenient option to ensure you and your loved ones stay healthy. To schedule your video visit, please call our Bronx office at 718.716.4400 or our Brooklyn office at 929.512.3900.
