Telehealth Awareness Week (TAW) is an initiative launched by the American Telemedicine Association (ATA), taking place this year from September 14th to the 20th, 2025. This annual event unites healthcare professionals, patient advocates, solution providers, policymakers, and hospitals to celebrate the role of telehealth in today’s care delivery.
Telehealth Awareness Week is a time to share educational resources, spotlight the benefits of virtual care, and amplify the stories of patients and providers who rely on telehealth to bridge gaps in access. SecureVideo is proud to support this mission and highlight how our platform is helping healthcare organizations deliver equitable, connected, and high-quality care.
Expanding Access and Equity in Healthcare
One of the core goals of Telehealth Awareness Week is to emphasize how telehealth expands access to care. Whether it’s patients in rural areas, individuals with mobility limitations, people who prefer telehealth appointments or communities facing healthcare provider shortages, telehealth makes it possible to connect with quality care that might otherwise be out of reach.
Telehealth helps break down barriers by providing:
- Geographic flexibility – care delivered anywhere, from home to community settings.
- Cost efficiency – reduced travel, fewer missed appointments, and streamlined operations.
- Continuity of care – consistent access to providers, even when circumstances prevent in-person visits.
By addressing these challenges, telehealth ensures that healthcare is not just available but truly accessible.
How Social Determinants of Health Continue to Drive the Need for Telehealth
Social determinants of health (SDOH), including economic stability, education, healthcare access, social context, and neighborhood environment play a major role in patient outcomes. Many individuals face systemic barriers that limit their ability to receive care.
Telehealth directly addresses these disparities by offering remote access to medical services, thereby reducing the impact of transportation difficulties, provider shortages, and limited resources. As TAW 2025 emphasizes, virtual care is not a luxury, it’s a necessity in ensuring equitable health outcomes.
