I personally spoke with folks from as far away as Texas and many other states including Mississippi, Georgia, Louisiana, Kentucky, Florida and more. Dr. Stephen Suggs, Specialists On Call Teleneurologist, presented a very well received session that highlighted 5 Impacts of Telemedicine to Prattville Baptist Hospital (you can [get the executive summary here](http://info.specialistsoncall.com/free-executive-summary-from-alabama-telestroke-experience/).) I was also able to attend other sessions including those by Ron Sparks, Senator Taylor, Dr. Carl Taylor, APT COO Dr. Jeffery Kesler, and Executive Director of Connecting Alabama Jessica Dent. There is a lot of commitment to bring the GPT model to Alabama and to get telehealth reimbursed for all payers. The overall messages resonated with SOC’s focus on patient care – connecting patients with the right doctor when they need it. My goals for attending the conference were to learn everything I could about the APT initiative, hear from thought leaders in Alabama, and meet some of our SOC partners. I also wanted to let the other attendees know that SOC is the leader in telehealth and that we have a local representative. I feel like I accomplished it all! Thanks to everyone that came by the SOC booth and especially to those that were singing the SOC praises loud and proud! I look forward to attending again next year! 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://208745.hs-sites.com/blog/bid/174764/Alabama-Broadband-Telehealth-Summit-Recap#comments-listing) Topics: [telemedicine](https://208745.hs-sites.com/blog/topic/telemedicine), [teleneurology](https://208745.hs-sites.com/blog/topic/teleneurology), [telepsychiatry](https://208745.hs-sites.com/blog/topic/telepsychiatry), [telehealth](https://208745.hs-sites.com/blog/topic/telehealth), [Alabama Broadband & Telehealth Summit](https://208745.hs-sites.com/blog/topic/alabama-broadband-telehealth-summit), [GPT](https://208745.hs-sites.com/blog/topic/gpt) [All posts](https://208745.hs-sites.com/blog/all) ### Subscribe to Email Updates ### Popular ### Posts by Topic -
