NJ HealthConnect @ Memorial Library
|
Memorial Library stands behind the initiative to bring equal access to health care and information to everyone.
We have been selected to offer specially designed iPads to patrons with preloaded telemedicine apps and links to health websites, crisis hotlines, mental health support, and teen helplines. These iPads provide updated information in many different languages and give access to Zoom/Google meeting apps for patrons to speak with qualified health professionals. Any patron can request an iPad to use in the library with free WiFi enabled. East Rutherford adult cardholders can also request to borrow an iPad to use from home.* *Please note: Internet access is required for the iPads to function fully. Borrowers who do not have Internet access at home may also opt to borrow a mobile HotSpot as well. |
