The Houston Independent School District is set to launch telehealth services for students due to the growing number of mental and physical health counseling needs in schools, district officials announced Friday.

The COVID-19 pandemic changed a lot of things going forward, one of which is the way pet owners and veterinarians interact during visits.

HOUSTON – RediClinic closed all of its 36 Texas-area locations this week to focus on expanding telehealth options for patients, the company said. According to RediClinic’s website, they are using Rite Aid Virtual Care, which is powered by the company, to see patients through telehealth appointments. The website says they can connect patients with a live board-certified clinician through a video visit from the comfort of your home. RediClinic had 36 locations in 21 cities across Texas before their unexpected closing.
