As a busy mom I find myself constantly on the go running the kids to and from school, making breakfast, packing lunches, cleaning, getting dinner ready, taking care of my furry family members, helping the kids with their homework, getting the kids bathed and ready for bed and so much more. Keep in mind that I am doing all of this while working full time and trying to find a second for myself which seems impossible and in the midst of all of this….who has the time to get sick? I know that I don’t as we all know that there are no sick days for moms and dads, and with the kiddos in school and the stresses of the holidays in full swing, it is bound to happen to the best of us which is why I have to share Amwell with you all as they are the perfect solution to the busy lives we live today.
Last week I found myself feeling a bit under the weather while I was trying to get the kids out the door and on their way to school. I had a busy day mapped out and being sick simply was not an option. I decided to use Amwell which is an at-home solution to urgent care and one that I am very familiar with and trust, as I have used their services in the past. Amwell is a life saver for sure as I was able to hop on a quick video call with a doctor after I got back home from dropping the kids off at school and after a quick online visit he called in a prescription for me and I was on my way to tackle my day with no time lost. Seriously… it is the best thing ever and I 100% recommend their services to everyone that I know.
A bit about Amwell…..Amwell (American Well) is a 24/7 resource for you and your family as it provides the perfect solution for health care with the busy lives we live today. When you need urgent care, you need it right away and what better way to access it than from the comfort of your own home. Think about it… wouldn’t you rather see a doctor from the comfort of your own home rather than have to go to your doctors office and possibly expose yourself to additional germs and illness? Plus who has the time? Amwell complements in-person care beautifully and it is important to stress that this is not a replacement for real emergency situations but rather the perfect way to get a visit in from the comfort of your home in the event you are feeling under the weather. Examples of this are if you have a fever, cold and flu, allergies, sinus infections, stomach bugs, aches, a UTI, pediatric services and it is also perfect for when you are traveling.
So what do you think of Amwell (American Well)? Are they not the most convenient thing to happen to health care since like ever?!? Seriously…. if you are feeling under the weather and are in need of urgent care, take advantage of the services that Amwell provides as you can see a doctor in no time, all while remaining in the convenience and comfort of your own home. Amwell is the perfect solution to your urgent care needs and it cannot be any easier as you simply log in and schedule an appointment with an amazing Doctor to receive the care and advice you are looking for without having to go visit an actual Doctor’s office. Amwell (American Well) is amazingly convenient and is truly the solution for today’s busy families.

great info. very important advice

I absolutely love the idea of getting help from the comfort of home. Especially for simpler things and illnesses that you don’t want to spread germs around.
mcushing7
So very true…. many times In have left the office sick 🙂
Lori Bosworth
I think getting medical services from the comfort of home is a great idea. Sometimes you just feel too sick to get yourself to the doctor’s office!
Candy Rachelle
This sounds great for minor issues, instead of having to drive to your PC, wait to be called on, and wait to be seen. Lots and lots of time wasted. I’ve never heard of Amwell but will definitely check it out and see what services they provide.

This sounds amazing! As a mom of 3 young kids, we have a LOT of sick visits and dragging all the kids along is seriously the pits. If we can start taking care of more diagnosis from home that would be game changing!
mcushing7
It is an amazing thing for sure and my experiences are all amazing with them. I have used the severe times, on vacation and at home.
Valerie
I love this concept. Our place is doing this too. The downside is that our internet is slow the conferencing doesn’t work for us.
Kristine Nicole Alessandra
I have heard and read a lot of positive reviews about Amwell. I think this is a very good option to take for a family’s urgent care needs. I could only wish their services would be available in more areas. It would be nice if they could go global too!
Chad
I’ve heard about this service before, so convenient. I would love to sign up. Thanks for the recos.

This is such a great idea. I hate sitting at a doctors office when I am sick. I am so uncomfortable. My immune system is already compromised and I could pick up other bugs. Thank you so much for sharing this. God Bless
Betty Davies
This is such a great idea! It can be a real struggle to get to the doctors when you are so busy! Going to look into this, thanks for sharing!

Karen
This is really nice and very convenient
Linda Manns Linneman
This is such a great way to visit a doctor for this flu and cold season. I do not like having to sit in the doctors when I am sick. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Tony Platz
This is a great idea more so if you can not get to a doctor.
Shana Lenoir
It’s a nice concept but my healths so bad I have to go
Tony Platz
This is a good idea .
Linda Manns Linneman
This is so much better than being sick and having to wait for the doctor. Not only that, there are so many sick people around us and our immune system is already compromised. Thank you so much for sharing how to do this
Molli Taylor
these services make so much sense. who wants to be around other sick people when you are sick?
Calvin
This is getting popular, interesting.
Shannah
I’ve seen this service offered before but never tried it. It is such a convenience to have this I will have to check it out!
Marysa
This is such a convenient service to have! I can’t tell you how many times I would have used it over the years. Definitely will have to keep this in mind!
Christopher Mitchell
Hey this is really good to know as my wife and I consider having kids!
Britt
This looks like an incredible resource for those with a busy lifestyle! I can only imagine how much easier it would be to reach out and contact a healthcare professional without having to worry about leaving the house, driving to the nearest open clinic, wait times, etc!
Amanda
This is such a nice option! I’ve actually used online care for myself and my husband before. It’s great!
Debbie
Oh wow, this would be so handy! I will have to keep this in mind, for sure.
Marjie Mare
I am familiar with such service as a nurse working in the virtual world. I can tell that my members truly appreciate this type of service and know that they can rely on the providers.
Britt
While many people will complain about the challenges associated with a world that is so plugged in, this is a great example of how we can take these technological advances and put them into practice today! By making this care readily accessible to anyone, this could potentially save a life as it’s not at all uncommon to hear of people failing to get the care they need simply due to a busy schedule, time restraints, lack of transportation, etc.
mcushing7
So right! Thank you Britt!
Mariana Galdo
Wow, I think Amwell is a very effective and necessary app! Sometimes people don’t have enough time to see a doctor and maybe Amwell can help them out for some things. I hope this kind of app expands to other countries, so they can also use a service similar to Amwell.
Shannon V Holmes
This is great for people that cannot leave home. Thanks for telling us about this.
Melissa Storms
This is a great option for people like me that live in very rural areas.
Christina Gould
This would have come in handy when my child was young. It sounds very convenient. Thanks for sharing!
Shannon Holmes
This is so cool, way better than going into an office.
Sandy Klocinski
Awesome! Very good post. Never heard of Amwell. But my doctor offers something similar. It can only be used for certain things and insurance doesn’t pay for it. I used it once when I had a UTI. Doctor prescribed meds and I picked them up. It was great. I think the cost was like $35 but it was worth it to me not to have to sit in the doctor’s office
mcushing7
That is what I used it for too….a UTI. I know if I have one….LOL Thanks for sharing!
Nerlande
This sounds like a good idea I’ve never heard of this

I can’t help but think how useful this would have been for me yesterday. I ended up having to walk into town (about 2 miles) just to see the doctor for 2 minutes, while my partner parked on the side of the road. The traffic was just awful, and it wasn’t even rush hour!
This would have saved me a lot of time.
