Washakie County Library Open House Celebration

The Worland Public Library is celebrating its new expansion and inviting the community to check out what’s new—including the PATHS telehealth booth, created through a partnership with the University of Wyoming and the Wyoming Institute for Disabilities.

This ADA-compliant booth offers a private, accessible space for telehealth appointments, with Wi-Fi, a computer, hydraulic desk, headset, and other tools to support a comfortable visit—especially helpful when winter weather or transportation makes travel difficult.

Open to all community members

Light refreshments + swag

Come see what’s NEW!

January 30 | 2:00–4:00 PM

Washakie County Library | 801 Big Horn Avenue, Worland

"One of the ways we have been able to provide our patrons with extra opportunities is by partnering with outside agencies. The newest partnership has been with the University of Wyoming, and the Wyoming Institute for Disabilities . We joined with them through their grant with USDA and we were able to bring accessibility in a new way to Washakie County. We are identified as rural, and as you know, sometimes we are not as lucky with the weather as we have been this year. When traveling is out of the question, we have access for you to hold a telehealth appointment. We have tucked away in a quiet corner of the library an ADA-compliant modular office for your telehealth needs. In this workspace you have access to wi-fi, a computer, hydraulic desk, headset and other tools to make your telehealth session with your doctor more comfortable. The weather outside can be scary or transportation to an out-of-town appointment just cannot happen. This booth can be accessed by making a reservation at our circulation desk, with no private information being stored on the computer. Ask your doctor about telehealth visits and see if this can work for you. We have the tech help and space for you at the Washakie County Library."

Healthcare Providers: We Need Your Help!

WyTN has launched a survey to help us understand the current telehealth landscape in Wyoming from the perspective of healthcare providers. This survey aims to gather insights from providers related to the successes and challenges of telehealth implementation and adaptation.

The results from this survey will help us identify and address specific barriers that currently limit telehealth use in Wyoming, with the ultimate goal of developing a more comprehensive telehealth network throughout the state.

Anyone who provides direct services to clients is invited to participate in this anonymous and voluntary survey – whether you currently provide telehealth services or not. The survey can be accessed by clicking this link, or by using the QR code above.

Please email Kristen Glennie (kglennie@uwyo.edu) with any questions.

Additional Special Interest Group Meetings

Special interest groups are facilitated by the WyTN to improve collaboration, education, and communication for distinct groups and fields in regards to telehealth. They allow for tangible support on specific needs and access to a network of champions and experts. Each group fosters their own goals to help improve their practices.
