These laws, written for the old model of delivering medical care, create barriers to wider utilization of telemedicine.**** ** ** We look forward to seeing you there! * If you will be attending this event, just accept the attached calendar invite!* **** ** ** If you would like to be kept up-to-date on the latest laws impacting telehealth, please click here to be added to our email list. **** ** ** Looking forward to seeing you all soon,**** ** ** Christa Natoli**** ** ** Associate Director **** The Robert J.
