Imagine receiving top-notch hospital care right in the comfort of your own home. In this episode we're joined by Dr. Sarah Schenck, medical director of Virtualist Medicine at ChristianaCare, to discuss the game-changing concept of hospital care at home. Through a three-part system - a command center, cutting-edge technology, and in-person care - this innovative approach is providing safe, effective and accessible acute-level health care to people of various ages and diagnoses.

Join us for a fascinating conversation with Dr. Schenck, in which we delve into patient eligibility requirements, compare the safety, effectiveness and experience of hospital care at home to traditional inpatient stays and much more.

Dr. Sarah Schenck is the medical director of Virtualist Medicine for ChristianaCare’s Center for Virtual Health.
