What is the WA Telehealth Collaborative?
The Collaborative consists of a group of twenty-two statewide experts on telehealth, and four state legislators, two from each chamber and party. The Collaborative was created in 2016 after the passage of SB 6519, which recognized of a dedicated group to provide guidance, research, and recommendations for the advancement of telemedicine and the benefit of professionals providing care through telemedicine.
The group meets every 6-8 weeks. Meetings are open to the public and time is reserved at the end of every meeting for public comments and questions. For upcoming meeting details and previous meeting minutes, please see the Upcoming Meetings page.
