A local telehealth company is teaming up with the state Health Department in Albany to vaccinate New Yorkers who cannot leave their home due to COVID.
NEW YORK - A new program underway between the city of Yonkers, the New York Department of health, and Ro, a healthcare tech company based in Manhattan, is making sure that seniors who cannot leave their homes due to the pandemic are getting vaccinated for COVID-19.
