It helps that we provide a service that is still in demand with some modifications. We've been working hard to convert our in person appointment inventory to telehealth availability so that people have some basic access to medical care. Obviously this benefits us, cause it helps us keep the lights on. But it's also crucial for doctors - some of whom have seen their business almost go to 0, and patients who need to find ways to access telemedicine.
And for those in here who have been laid off - we are hiring software engineering roles as well as sales rep roles. Check us out if you just lost your job.
