We provide free consultation and resources for medical professionals and organizations to implement telehealth programs in rural and under-served communities across the Pacific*.
The Pacific Basin Telehealth Resource Center (PBTRC) is committed to expanding the availability of healthcare to underserved populations via telehealth and serves as the primary telehealth information resource for the Pacific region.
If you need assistance implementing a telehealth program or aren’t sure where to begin, get in touch and we can help you get started.

We serve communities in Hawaiʻi, Guam, American Samoa, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Freely Associated States of the Republic of Palau, Republic of the Marshall Islands, and Federated States of Micronesia.
PBTRC has revamped resources for patients to help prepare for a telehealth session. View and download the telehealth checklist and learn about the equipment you need or how to troubleshoot common issues.
For patients with an intellectual or developmental disability (I/DD), accessing health care services can sometimes be challenging but telehealth can offer another way for patients to get the services they need. View factsheets below to learn more.
