Doctor On Demand's Hill Ferguson

COVID-19 has dramatically changed our lives in just a few months. In this issue we highlight some of the work that CTA member companies are doing to reduce the impact of the coronavirus and slow its progress. Our cover story profiles Doctor on Demand’s CEO Hill Ferguson, who is directing an army of doctors to combat the virus via telemedicine. Meanwhile, companies have stepped up to connect us as we remotely work at home and students connect to their schools via video services. But during this stressful time, we also need to unwind. And tech companies are bringing streaming content to help us relax in this tense environment.
