Michele Vallee, APRN has over a decade of experience in hospital, school and community settings caring for patients. After listening to thousands of patients’ concerns, the growing need for additional access to health care became increasingly clear. More patients were spending many hours in the emergency room to receive basic health care. ER visits were not only costly and time consuming but often described as impersonal.
Realizing that patients were frustrated with the lack of health care options available Michele Vallee was motivated to make a difference and started Advance Telemedicine.
“We understand that health concerns can arise at a moment’s notice. Especially on nights and weekends, making an appointment to see a primary care provider may be difficult and an emergency room visit may not be necessary. That is why we provide flexible hours for patients while providing the same quality of care at an affordable price,” says Michele Vallee, APRN.

The foundation of Advance Telemedicine begins with its founder — a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner with decades of clinical experience across some of the most demanding and diverse healthcare environments, including hospital systems, school health settings, and community-based care programs. This breadth of experience has provided a uniquely comprehensive understanding of how patients at every stage of life — from pediatric to elderly — interact with the healthcare system, and where that system consistently fails them.
The inspiration for Advance Telemedicine did not come from a boardroom or a business school — it came from thousands of patient conversations. Over the course of a long clinical career, a pattern became impossible to ignore: patients were spending hours — sometimes entire days — in emergency rooms seeking basic, non-emergent care. These visits were not only costly and time-consuming, but patients consistently described them as impersonal and dehumanizing. For many, the emergency room had become the only accessible option in a system that offered too few alternatives.
That realization became a calling. Rather than accepting the status quo, our founder chose to act — channeling decades of clinical knowledge, patient empathy, and entrepreneurial vision into building a practice that puts accessibility, affordability, and personalized care at the center of every patient interaction. Advance Telemedicine is the direct result of listening to patients and refusing to accept that the barriers they faced were inevitable.
