Travellers and staff at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) can now book a virtual visit with a healthcare provider.

San Francisco International Airport (SFO), already certified for health and wellness leadership, has announced a new resource available to both travellers and airport workers: virtual visits from Dignity Health-GoHealth Urgent Care. Travellers and employees can now book virtual visits to connect with certified Dignity Health providers to diagnose and treat a wide range of illnesses and injuries, available 365 days a year including all major holidays.

Virtual visits are a safe and increasingly popular alternative for patients and their providers, the airport said. Telemedicine is frequently used to help patients with everything from allergies and rashes to sprains and insect bites, coughs, colds, flu and much more. According to the airport, billing insurance is available for most major California and national insurance plans and provides affordable same-day pricing for patients without insurance.

In-person care continues to be available at the SFO Medical Clinic, located pre-security in the International Terminal.
