Medical University of South Carolina telemedicine program to connect ICU specialists with rural hospitals

The telemedicine revolution in South Carolina is expanding to hospital intensive care units.

The Medical University of South Carolina on Wednesday announced a partnership with Advanced ICU Care to connect the Charleston facility's intensive care physicians with rural hospitals.
