Assistant Park City Librarian Angela Dohanos said the small telehealth room is tucked away on the first floor of the library in the YouCreate lab.
“The room has a computer with a camera, a small privacy screen and a health kit that includes a blood pressure cuff, thermometer and oximeter,” Dohanas said on KPCW’s “Local News Hour” May 14.
“Our hope is that this resource helps community members who don't have a private place at home to meet with their doctor, or who don't have the resources to travel to appointments easily,” she said.
Three health kits were provided by the state library. Two of the kits stay in the telehealth room. She said a third can be checked out like a book.
The library also hosted its first ever health fair May 17.
“We had over 20 different local organizations giving out bilingual information about their missions and resources, including the People's Health Clinic, the Christian Center, Summit County Health and others,” Dohanas said.
The library's monthly Teen Zen Den is May 24 at 1 p.m. The class provides teens with skills to support concentration, reduce anxiety and create connections with peers through breath-work and conscious movement.
Plus, local historian Dalton Gackle headlines the May 27 local speaker series at 4 p.m. He’ll talk about Park City’s early mining days.
