Heartland Forward Unveils Telehealth Initiative

Heartland Forward is launching an initiative to expand telehealth access in Arkansas and Oklahoma by teaching librarians how to prepare community members for a telehealth visit. A training event at the Fayetteville Public Library was part of Heartland Forward’s multi-state, multi-pronged Connecting the Heartland initiative, which seeks to boost internet availability, affordability and adoption rates for participation in online services that considered to be keys to economic opportunity. The event was designed to educate librarians on the comprehensive, online Telehealth DigitalLearn module, which teaches users how to access and prepare for a telehealth appointment.
