Mission
CECN'S TAX EXEMPT PURPOSES ARE IMPROVING EFFICACY AND QUALITY OF HEALTHCARE PROVIDED TO UNDERSERVED AND RURAL POPULATIONS, AND INCREASING AND ENABLING ACCESS TO MEDICAL SPECIALISTS TO THOSE POPULATIONS. CECN USES THE ECONSULT PLATFORM WHICH IS AN ELECTRONIC WEB-BASED, HIPPA COMPLIANT COMMUNICATIONS PLATFORM FOR CLINICAL CONSULTATIONS. THE ECONSULT ACTIVITY DIRECTLY FURTHERS THESE PURPOSES BY PROVIDING A PLATFORM BY WHICH MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED INDIVIDUALS IN NEED OF SPECIALTY HEALTHCARE OBTAIN ACCESS TO THE NEEDED SPECIALTY HEALTHCARE DIRECTLY THROUGH THEIR PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS. IN MANY CASES, DUE TO FINANCIAL HARDSHIPS, THE LACK OF INSURANCE, GEOGRAPHIC RESTRICTIONS OR THE ABSENCE OF TRANSPORTATION, MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED PATIENTS DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO NEEDED SPECIALTY CARE PROVIDERS.
