Telemedicine yes
 

 All Virginiams want the best possible healthcare, but for those in rural areas where access to specialists is limited telemedicine is the answer. this not only gives the best care but saves the patient, the Dr. and the taxpayer money. Elderly or infirm patients are spared the  long tiring trips involved in faraway locations by accessing care over the phone or computer. This is a definite win win situation for all involved.
