Improving Access in Latin America and U.S. Territories: Telehealth Without Borders

Geography shouldn’t determine access to specialty care. Across Latin America and U.S. territories, geographic isolation, workforce shortages, and limited healthcare infrastructure continue to create significant barriers to timely care.

In this webinar, healthcare leaders and community partners explored how telehealth can help close those gaps—connecting underserved communities with specialty expertise while strengthening local capacity.

Through real-world examples, the discussion highlighted how healthcare organizations, medical students, telehealth networks, faith-based organizations, and community partners are building sustainable, culturally responsive models that extend beyond short-term mission efforts.
