In the 1990s Cameron Communications finalized the construction of a state-of-the-art fiber optics telecommunications “ring” which connected Cameron Parish hospitals and clinics with medical centers throughout the state.
Doctors in rural Cameron Parish can consult with specialists and, via Telemedicine video links, share medical information.
Telemedicine enables patients and their families to receive better treatment without lengthy travel time and extra expenses.
With the devastation caused by Hurricane Rita of September 2005 on Cameron Parish , the telemedicine network will have to be reconstructed. Cameron Communications is committed to providing this same telemedicine network once the Cameron Parish hospitals and clinics are rebuilt.
