Tembo Health in Action
These case studies outline the impact of Tembo Health in our communities:
Quick Diagnosis, Prompt Care
"During move-in, a new assisted living resident noticed their hand had become swollen and painful. Without a local primary care provider and unable to visit urgent care, the wellness team contacted Tembo Health. A virtual consult led to a diagnosis of suspected cellulitis, and a prescription was sent to the pharmacy immediately. The medication arrived and was administered within the hour. Symptoms improved within 24 hours, and both the resident and family were relieved by the prompt care."
Best Possible Outcome
"On a Sunday, an independent living resident mentioned cold symptoms to the concierge, who helped initiate a Tembo Health visit. The resident was guided to a private space for a virtual assessment, where a physician diagnosed bronchitis. A prescription for antibiotics and an inhaler was sent and delivered within hours. The physician also updated the resident’s son directly. The resident avoided an ER or PCP visit, receiving effective weekend care with ease."
