[TAO] Fwd: Broadband + telehealth access = empowered patients

[Catherine Britain]

Greetings,

Please join TAO as we partner with HIMSS to celebrate US National Health IT
week.  HIMSS is calling attention to the ways HIT can help support healthy
communities.  Please help us continue to create awareness of the importance
of telehealth in increasing access to quality healthcare for all of us.

The message below can connect you to the Health IT website.  On it you will
find a list of all the HIMSS partners and a link to #IHeartHIT.  "
#IHeartHIT <https://twitter.com/hashtag/ihearthit> is a year-long
storytelling initiative that aims to shed light on the opportunities and
impact health information and technology can have on improving health and
how care is delivered."  These stories are full of hope and excitement for
the future of healthcare and HIT.  Read some of them, and consider adding
one of your own.

Kind regards,
Cathy
