Coronavirus Symptom Self-Assessment & Resource Tool: Available at unchealth.org, the chatbot takes people through simple questions to determine if further evaluation is recommended and guides our patients towards virtual care options such as an e-visit or video visit that will determine if testing is necessary. The chatbot also provides Coronavirus educational resources. It’s an alternative to calling the COVID-19 HelpLine and is intended to address the significant community interest.

We offer superb adult and pediatric medical and surgical/laser services, Mohs surgery, and dermatopathology. We are committed to the health care of all people of our state and beyond, including service to underserved populations.
