Barton Health

As the second wave in COVID-19 cases increased the need for critical patient care at Barton Health, access to critical care specialists became increasingly important. To address this need, Barton Health has formed a partnership with Eagle Telemedicine, a team of experts including intensivists and specialists that expand access to a higher level of care when patients need it most. https://www.facebook.com/bartonhealth/publishing_tools/

Accessing outdoor activities during the pandemic is more important than ever - not just for our physical health, but for our mental health as well. With outdoor sports comes the risk of injury and one of the most vulnerable joints to these injuries is the knee. Some injuries are unavoidable but others can be avoided and risks can be minimized with proper preparation. #SportsMedFriday https://www.bartonhealth.org//winter-knee-injury-and-preve
