NJHealthConnect @ Your Library!
Middlesex Public Library is thrilled to be participating in a new telehealth opportunity funded by the American Rescue Plan Act, to bring health equity to all, called NJHealthConnect @ Your Library!
From the NJ State Library website: The ongoing pandemic has put a spotlight on inequities in the healthcare system, especially among those most vulnerable. There is a need for public libraries to play a role in advancing health equity that can be bridged through the NJHealthConnect @ Your Library, funded by the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) opportunity.
This new program, administered by New Jersey State Library, and implemented by Just For The Health Of It! at East Brunswick Public Library, addresses inequities through a combination of technology that offers links to telemedicine apps for doctor appointments, and links to COVID and high quality health literacy resources.
NJHealthConnect @ Your Library supports the New Jersey’s Healthy People 2030 mission to help people get timely, high-quality health care services so that good health is within the grasp of everyone.
We are still working on implementing this program, so be sure to check our website often for updates on this valuable telemedicine platform for our Middlesex community!
