Your Telehealth Champion is responsible for internal marketing to staff, ensuring everyone understands how telehealth is being used to help clients and patients. Ideally, you’ll want all staff to become enthusiastic advocates.

TIP: Your marketing doesn’t have to be costly. Messages to both staff and clients just have to be clear and consistent, conveying that competence and caring are valued.
