A lack of access to healthcare professionals is one of the key contributing factors to poor health outcomes in the United States. Emerging telehealth partnerships between libraries and community-based organizations is standing in that gap. In "Telehealth Services and Public Libraries: Life-changing and life-saving opportunities for libraries to power telehealth solutions In their communities", telehealth expert Craig Settles explores the models in use around the county that are positively impacting individual and community health while building new relationships for public libraries.
"Libraries can give shops laptops, telehealth software, and portable hotspots to provide hypertension screening and other healthcare services suited to customers’ needs.
