CHARLOTTE, NC -- Presbyterian Healthcare has partnered with InRoomMD, a Charlotte-based company, to provide unique medical care services, including in-room "house call" physician visits, to travelers staying in Charlotte area hotels and motels.

"There's probably nothing more frightening than to be in a strange city, need medical attention and not know where to turn for help," said Carl Armato, president and CEO of Presbyterian Healthcare. "Visitors to Charlotte want assurances that the very best medical care will be available to them if they need it. Presbyterian Healthcare has been providing superior healthcare services to Charlotte-area residents for more than 100 years and we are pleased to offer the same high-touch, high-tech care to travelers."

InRoomMD's board-certified, fully-credentialed physicians are on call 24 hours a day to offer immediate access to quality medical care in the comfort and privacy of the traveler's hotel room. If emergency room services or hospitalization are required, InRoomMD physicians will provide emergency triage services through the resources of Presbyterian Healthcare.

"We are pleased to team up with Presbyterian Hospital to serve those who are ill when traveling to our city," said Andy Jacobsen, co-founder of InRoomMD. "Together, we'll make sure that you are not a stranger in a strange place when it comes to finding quality medical services."

All of Presbyterian's hospitals, including Presbyterian Hospital Matthews and Presbyterian Hospital Huntersville, are part of the InRoomMD program. Presbyterian chose to partner with InRoomMD in this unique business opportunity because it fills a need in Charlotte. The visitor population is a new market for Presbyterian and will complement the remarkable care that Presbyterian already provides to residents.

The Charlotte market is InRoomMD's second location following Las Vegas. Services offered by InRoomMD include 24-hour-a-day hotel room doctor visits, prescription refills, emergency dental and ophthalmology care, discounted chiropractic referrals and more. Travelers may sign up for InRoomMD subscriptions through travel agencies, the InRoomMD Web site, www.inroommd.com or by calling the company's call center at 866-909-7666.
