UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE HEALTH SCIENCES University of Tennessee Health Sciences Center uses video communications to reach remote patients, and save millions of dollars. The University of Tennessee Health Science Center employs 1,892 physicians who staff numerous area hospitals. The UT College of Medicine (UTCM) and community partners launched the MidSouth Telehealth Consortium to bridge the distances between its physicians and potential patients who live in isolated, underserved communities.
