A handful of the AFHCAN staff recently headed down to the 14th annual American Telemedicine Association Expo at the Rio in Las Vegas. We had some staff giving presentations,  some moderating and we had a booth in the Expo hall. It was a great chance to share more about what AFHCAN is and what we are doing. We were able to share information with a lot of great people and get some feedback and ideas for our future.

While there we had the chance to showcase the next version of our telemedicine cart. The version 4 design not only gives the cart more style, but a lot more room for devices.
