During the pandemic, they were heroes. Today, they are apparently superfluous. In what is becoming a trend in health care, Oregon Health & Science University on Tuesday (July 2) removed a telehealth nursing unit created in March 2020 that was once listed on its website for its service to people across the state.

Freed from the multiple narrative angles still…
