Looking Back at 2022 with the Upper Midwest Telehealth Resource Center
As we approach the end of the year, we want to reflect on our achievements at UMTRC. It was an eventful year – we welcomed our new director, Dr. Amnah Anwar, and continued to adjust to the "new normal" following the COVID-19 pandemic. We hosted our 4th Annual UMTRC Conference and continued our long-standing podcast and webinar series. We're looking forward to doing even more in the new year and continuing to serve as your telehealth resource center.
Happy Holidays from all of us at the UMTRC! -On behalf of the UMTRC (Upper Midwest Telehealth Resource Center) Team Amnah Anwar, MPH (Master of Public Health), MBBS Senior Director, IRHA (Indiana Rural Health Association) Program Director UMTRC |

TelehealthLocator Data Collection Now Live!
We are excited to share that the development of a new public facing tool, TelehealthLocator, is underway!

WIM Tracking, in collaboration with the TelehealthLocator TRCs, is working to determine what telehealth services are offered across a 24-state and 6 territory region, including the UMTRC’s region.
