Having access to trusted care after hours can make all the difference for families.

“When my 13-year-old daughter injured her ankle during an evening soccer practice, it was too late to visit urgent care. Her ankle was swollen and painful, and I was worried it might affect her ability to do the things she loves long-term. I tried MedStar eVisit for peace of mind—and it was the best decision I could’ve made.

The app was incredibly easy to use; once I entered the insurance information, we were connected with a provider within minutes. The video quality was excellent, and the provider was calm, kind, and thorough. She reassured us, gave clear care instructions, and even sent notes to urgent care for a follow-up the next day.

The whole process saved us hours of anxiety and an unnecessary trip to the ER. MedStar eVisit gave me confidence that I was doing the best for my child and saved me from a sleepless night of worry. I would absolutely recommend it—quick, professional care right from home when you need it most.”

When symptoms felt serious, Sheila turned to MedStar eVisit–Telehealth for guidance she could trust.

"I would not have gone to the Emergency Room as soon as I did if it weren’t for MedStar eVisit. Thank goodness I followed the provider’s advice. During my first eVisit, I was in the comfort of my own home, but I was really in a lot of pain.

I decided to try the MedStar eVisit app and spoke with a provider quickly. She calmed my nerves and told me that if the pain got worse, I should go to the ER. The pain worsened, and I ended up having a procedure to relieve a kidney stone. I wouldn’t have sought in-person care as quickly as I should have if I hadn’t spoken with the eVisit provider.

Today, I always consider using MedStar eVisit because it’s so quick and convenient. I recommend MedStar eVisit to anyone in the service area for convenient care anytime of the day or night.” — Sheila Diggs, team lead, medical records, MedStar Montgomery Medical Center

🤧 Cold and flu season is here, and our own Deanna Najera, PA-C, is sharing tips to help families stay healthy. She says colds, flu, RSV, and COVID-19 often look similar—but knowing the differences can help you protect yourself.

Colds are usually mild, while the flu hits fast with high fever, chills, and body aches. RSV can be especially dangerous for infants and older adults. COVID symptoms vary, but older adults and those with medical conditions face higher risks.

Najera stresses the importance of vaccines—flu shots for everyone 6 months+, RSV protection for infants and older adults, and COVID vaccines for eligible children and adults.

⚠️ She also reminds families to watch for warning signs, such as trouble breathing, persistent fever, chest pain, or dehydration.

⬇️ See the comments below for Najera's advice to keep illness at bay.
