"This partnership with Eden Health will assist in delivering accessible quality care virtually, putting the power in the hands of its members and their family."

Hybrid healthcare and workforces are here to stay, and employers have an increased responsibility to play a more active role in providing employees access to tools and benefits that help them take care of their entire family," said Matt McCambridge, CEO and co-founder of Eden Health. "Our partnership with MyTelemedicine is another step in our mission to ensure that every person has a relationship with a trusted healthcare provider."
