Telehealth vs. Urgent Care: Why Virtual Visits Are Better for Everyday Health
| Why Choose Telehealth Over Urgent Care: | Telehealth (Summit Health) | Urgent Care |
|---|---|---|
| Provider Consistency | Same provider every time | Rotating staff, no continuity |
| Cost | Included in membership | High co-pays and out-of-pocket costs |
| Care Continuity | Direct follow-up & labs | No integration with your regular care |
| Advice Quality | Personalized advice | One-time diagnosis, no context |
| Convenience | No travel or wait time | Walk-ins and long queues |
Urgent care is often expensive, disconnected, and inconsistent. With telehealth through Summit Health, you get timely care from someone who knows your full health story—not a stranger who’s just covering a shift.
