New Option for Quick Access to Mental Health Help Through Telehealth in Ely, MN

Two Harbors, Minn: People across the Northland are waiting several months for their first therapy appointment. Wilderness Health has worked with its member hospitals and software Adaptive Tele­health to cut wait times and meet the needs of pa­tients. Now, Ely-Bloomenson Community Hospi­tal has access to a new resource, the Ambulatory Therapy and Diagnostic Assessment program, to support the Ely community.

The program has an easy-to-use platform that al­lows you to select a trusted mental health provid­er who can provide telehealth visits in Minnesota. Adults and children are welcome! Patients can view the in-network health plans, available times, and special areas of interest for each provider.

Referral options are available for diagnostic as­sessments, short-term therapy, or long-term ther­apy. Short-term therapy can fill the gap until pa­tients are able to get into another local practice, get a learning plan in place at school, or address short term goals they may have. As a virtual op­tion, you don’t have to travel to the hospital for therapy—all you need is internet connection and a device. Just ask your provider for help on the initial set up.

Our program has previously launched at oth­er sites and is currently available at Duluth and Two Harbors locations. These include Aspirus St. Luke’s Clinics – Duluth: Pediatrics, Woodland, and 26 E. Superior Street; and Aspirus Lake View Two Harbors Clinic.

Now at Ely-Bloomenson, health care staff in the Emergency Room and Rehab areas can connect patients with an option to get convenient telemen­tal health support without long wait times.
