FCC Commissioner Clyburn: Telehealth has great potential

Federal Communications Commissioner Mignon Clyburn says Mississippi can vastly improve its healthcare through greater broadband connectivity.

Commissioner Clyburn said that large hospitals and small clinics alike throughout the state are tapping into the online world's potential to improve healthcare in a region often worst or among the worst in the country for a slew of serious illnesses. "We're moving the needle in terms of healthcare delivery, even if the system isn't perfect as it is today," she said. "Connectivity is critical to healthcare."
