Barthelemy was recognized for building the global profile of metropolitan Phoenix, the nation's fifth largest city, by "sweeping the world with telemedicine, right from Arizona." GlobalMed's technology is currently used in 55 countries.

Global Chamber's mission is to accelerate cross-border trade and investment by engaging top executives and regional leaders to grow business, increase community success and change the world.

"There's a good reason why the word global has been in our company name since we launched in 2002," explained Barthelemy. "Telehealth makes it easy to export and replicate the universal tenets of healthcare to distant cultures that are far different from our own. Core concepts like patient access to quality care, accurate diagnostics and cost management are important to every demographic around the world. I am honored to be recognized for leading a global telehealth company based in Phoenix."

The award ceremony was held on Oct. 2 at the PHX 2017 Grow Globally Fair. The "Grow Globally Fair" is an annual trade fair event for exporters, importers and investors doing international business.
