Virginia Telehealth Network

What Virginia Telehealth Network does

Virginia Telehealth Network (VTN) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit membership network established in 2006, with organizational origins in a 2002 Virginia telehealth stakeholder gathering and a 2005 statewide consensus conference. Headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, VTN operates with a small team of 1-10 staff and contractors and serves the entire Commonwealth of Virginia. Its mission is to advance the adoption, implementation, and accessible integration of telehealth, with a particular focus on rural and underserved communities and on equity-driven initiatives. VTN does not develop proprietary technology; instead, it functions as a statewide convener, advisor, and research body for telehealth stakeholders, with its work codified in statute as a contractor supporting the Virginia State Telehealth Plan.\n\nVTN's portfolio consists of five primary offerings: (1) the Benchmarking Telehealth Usage in Virginia survey, a periodic research initiative with four completed iterations (2021, 2023, 2024, 2026) drawing participation from over 10,000 healthcare providers; (2) the Virginia Telemental Health Initiative (VTMHI), originally launched as a pilot program in partnership with the Virginia Association of Free and Charitable Clinics, MATRC, and UVA Health and subsequently spun off into a standalone nonprofit operating as Virginia's first statewide virtual mental health free clinic; (3) State Telehealth Plan advisory services provided directly to the Virginia Department of Health; (4) an annual statewide summit convening providers, professional associations, academic institutions, and policymakers, held since 2016; and (5) a membership program offering legislative updates, networking, educational resources, and advocacy support.\n\nVTN is funded through a combination of membership fees (annual billing, pricing not publicly disclosed), individual donations via PayPal, and government grants/partnerships with the Virginia Department of Health, Virginia Department of Health Professions, and Virginia Department of Medical Assistance Services. Its go-to-market is community-led, relying on convening power, content marketing via blog and newsletter, earned media coverage, and legislative advocacy rather than commercial sales motions. Governance is provided by a Board of Directors led by Board President Karen Rheuban, MD; Board Vice President Kathy Wibberly, PhD; and Board Treasurer Howard Chapman, Jr., with Mara Servaites serving as Executive Director.

Core offering

VTN is a nonprofit membership network that advances telehealth adoption across the Commonwealth of Virginia through statewide stakeholder convening, policy advocacy, periodic benchmarking research, annual summits, and a statewide telemental health pilot program. It sells no software products; instead it provides membership services, research reports, policy advisory consulting to the Virginia Department of Health, and convening events to healthcare providers, health systems, and policymakers.

Product overview

Virginia Telehealth Network (VTN) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) membership network that serves as a statewide coordinator and advisor for telehealth adoption in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Rather than offering a unified software product, VTN's portfolio consists of research initiatives (Benchmarking Telehealth Usage in Virginia survey), a direct service program (Virginia Telemental Health Initiative providing free virtual mental health care), policy advisory services (supporting the Virginia State Telehealth Plan), annual convening events (VTN Summit), and a membership program offering resources and advocacy support. The organization functions as an advocacy and coordination body rather than a technology vendor.

Regional players

• California Telehealth Network: California's state-level telehealth network, the most direct functional analog to VTN as a state-designated telehealth convener. Operates a similar membership, advocacy, and policy advisory model in a different state, making it a close regional comparable.
• South Central Telehealth Resource Center (SCTRC): An HRSA-funded Telehealth Resource Center serving the south-central United States. Provides similar provider training, technical assistance, and telehealth adoption support, making it a close functional comparable in a different region.
• Mid-Atlantic Telehealth Resource Center (MATRC): An HRSA-funded Telehealth Resource Center serving the mid-Atlantic region, including Virginia. Already a VTN partner on VTMHI, MATRC provides similar technical assistance, training, and convening services to providers, making it both a peer and collaborator.
• Northeast Telehealth Resource Center (NETRC): An HRSA-funded Telehealth Resource Center serving the northeastern United States. Provides comparable telehealth education, resources, and technical assistance to providers and stakeholders, operating under a similar regional convening model.

Overlaps with VTN in policy advocacy and stakeholder education but operates at a national rather than state level.
• American Telemedicine Association (ATA): The primary national industry association for telehealth, providing advocacy, education, and convening across the entire U.S. telehealth ecosystem. A broader incumbent that addresses the national-level functions that VTN delivers at the state level.

Others

Provides national coordination and representation for regional TRCs, overlapping thematically with VTN's statewide coordination role at a broader geographic scale.
