After Tragedy, Debbie Heals with the Help of Telehealth

After Tragedy, Debbie Heals with the Help of Telehealth

By Reid Horton | Success Stories | Comments are Closed | 15 November, 2018 | 0

After losing two children in a brutal attack, Debbie suffered from PTSD and depression. With few mental health professionals in rural Anza, CA, she struggled to get the help she needed. Then a local community health center, Borrego Health started using telehealth to connect patients to providers outside of Anza. Debbie got the regular psychiatric care she needed and began to heal.

Her cactus garden now symbolizes her life, “When it’s cold and brutal out there, part of them dies and comes back. Some of them are kind of ugly and wilting, but then there’s a beautiful piece that comes out of it.”
Share Debbie’s story about the power of telehealth to connect Californians on Medi-Cal living in rural areas to the care they need to thrive.
