Library Telehealth Partnerships: Lessons Learned and Looking Ahead

• Date and Time: January 31, 2024 at 12 p.m. PT/1 p.m. MT/2 p.m. CT/3 p.m. ET      
• Registration: https://www.nnlm.gov/training/class/r4-connections-library-telehealth-partnerships-lessons-learned-and-looking-ahead
• Speakers: Rachael Masaitis, Idaho Department of Health and Welfare and George Strawley, Network of the National Library of Medicine
• Description: In Idaho, the Department of Health and Welfare is supporting libraries as they offer telehealth connections for patrons. These services allow residents of rural communities and others who experience health inequities related to the "digital divide" to talk to their healthcare professional over an internet connection right at their local library. Hear from the coordinator of this fledgling program about how it has operated so far. A representative of NNLM's Region 4 will also tell you about training opportunities for professionals who want to explore offering telehealth services at their library.
