Sabine Gedeon

How can we leverage telehealth to dismantle barriers and meet the unique healthcare needs of underrepresented groups?


Over the past few years, the healthcare industry has gone through a significant transformation, and one of the most notable changes has been the rise of telehealth.

Telehealth has become an essential tool for many healthcare organizations, and it is transforming the way healthcare is delivered.

Despite the many advantages of telehealth however, there are still some challenges that need to be addressed to ensure its success….one of which involves ensuring that these services are accessible to ALL patients, regardless of their socioeconomic status or technological proficiency.

On this week’s episode of She Leads Now, I am joined by Dr. Erkeda DeRouen. Tune in as we discuss the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in transforming the healthcare industry and opportunities that currently exist to create a more equitable healthcare system.

Dr. Erkeda DeRouen is a triple board-certified Family, Diversity, and Lifestyle Medicine physician. She serves as a thought leader in healthcare innovation. Passionate about merging the human aspect of medicine with the field of emerging technology, she has been able to utilize her gift of listening, communicating, and connecting the missing pieces to solve complex problems.
