Welcome to the Mid-Atlantic Telehealth Resource Center (MATRC)

Welcome to the Mid Atlantic Telehealth Resource Center (MATRC)! We are delighted to have been established with funding from HRSA's Office for the Advancement of Telehealth in September, 2011.

The mission of the MATRC is to provide technical support and other resources that advance telehealth within the mid-Atlantic states, and to collaborate with the other federally funded Telehealth Resource Centers. Each of our partner states are home to telehealth programs whose expertise will be shared amongst the members, with the ultimate goal of enhancing access to quality healthcare, health related education and research collaborations. We invite you to explore our website and to contact us with any questions and requests/opportunities for collaboration.
