Serena is from Charlotte, North Carolina where she grew up, attended college, and currently lives with her husband and three children. She attended CPCC and UNCC where she studied Physical Therapy and Public Health Sciences. Serena spent most of her career working in Acute Care and Post Acute Care Physical Therapy where she treated a variety of neuro, cardiac, and post surgical patients but her main passion was treating trauma patients in Charlotte’s only Level 1 trauma hospital. She had a passion for treating severe and multi-system trauma patients and Spinal Cord Injury patients.

While working in the post acute care setting, Serena witnessed the need for Telemedicine services in skilled nursing facilities where her patients were constantly readmitted to the hospital. Their frequent trips to the ER were hindering their progress in Physical and Occupational Therapy, therefore prolonging their return to prior level of function and delaying discharge back to their home and loved ones.

She is excited to be part of TeleHealth Solution, and knows first hand the change it can bring to skilled nursing facilities and critical access hospitals across the country. Serena enjoys travelling with her husband and three young children, gardening, baking, and spending time with family and friends.

Dr. Jason Perlman
President and Co-Founder - MD, MHS, Clinical Professor

Phone: (419) 490-6509 | Fax: (704) 970-1866

My mother was ill for a long time while I was in my residency. There were several frightening, stressful occasions where she would be rushed to the ER, only to find out the issue was something quite simple and solveable. If TeleMedicine had been around, we could have accessed a doctor via audio or video conferencing and saved her—and our family—from the unnecessary stress and fear an avoidable transfer can cause in an already painful situation. While grieving, and later while practicing as a hospitalist, I was always thinking about ways to improve conditions for others in similar scenarios.

TeleMedicine is a win-win for everyone involved: facilities, patients, families, doctors, staff—even the ER. With TeleHealth Solution, our goal is to save lives, save money, and save time. Let us help you improve your facility; for your bottom line and, most importantly, for your patients.

Dr. Waseem Ghannam
CEO and Co-founder - MD, MBA, MHSA

Phone: (704) 726-1587 | Fax: (704) 970-1866

I didn’t start out my medical career thinking about Skilled Nursing Facilities. Throughout my life, being a first generation American, I always championed the American spirit and knew this was a country where anyone could attain their goals. I believed that one of the best gifts in the world was the ability to help others, and dreamed of becoming a physician. So when I graduated from medical school, and stood proudly to take the Hippocratic oath, I thought my dream had come true. But while practicing as a hospitalist, I quickly realized there was a disconnect between my vision and the reality of the inpatient experience.

Watching a frail, defenseless patient curled up in the Emergency Room at 2 AM, no family or friends at their bedside, half covered in a sheet, I knew this was a broken system and that there had to be a better way.

Experiences like those led my partners and me to found TeleHealth Solution. Our technology can bring uncompromising care to patients who can remain comfortably in the convenience of their nursing facility…
