About Call9

Call9 is breaking the mold of traditional emergency medicine, hospital medicine, and telemedicine while reinventing the need for tertiary care. Our patient-centered proprietary virtual visit platform connects off-site emergency physicians with our on-site, specially trained Call9 Clinical Care Specialists (CCS) for acute events. Call9 provides a spectrum of services in skilled nursing facilities, allowing patients to be treated in the comfort of their own bed.

Through this innovative model -- with expedited treatment as well as point of care tests (labs, EKGs, telemetry, ultrasounds, etc., all streamed via Call9’s platform) -- 80% of the patients we see are able to avoid transferring to the hospital, which saves the healthcare system millions of dollars (all while we deliver superior care)!
