The Children's National Hospital Telehealth program enables our health care providers to help families, physicians and other health care partners receive care or guidance through video visits. Through these efforts, our world-class care is transcending geographic barriers through digital health.
If you are a parent and would like to schedule a telehealth appointment for your child, please call the Bear Line at 1-888-884-BEAR (2327) and then view our appointment instructions. If you are a referring provider or you're interested in a telehealth partnership, email us or complete this form.
Telehealth visits allow families to minimize time taken off of work and school, reduce travel time to appointments and get help managing medication – all while never leaving home.
Our services for partnering providers include live video visits, provider-to-provider phone consults, chart review, mobile services, second opinion and more.
Children’s National introduced a robot to its Emergency Department (ED) for patients under evaluation for a COVID infection or being treated for other conditions.
We work with government agencies, universities and health care providers around the world in partnerships that advance telehealth innovations, bringing the best care possible to patients in their own communities.
Learn how our telehealth team is improving care for children at our main hospital by making use of a new robot that visits patient rooms.
