WCFL Telehealth Booth

The Washington County Free Library provides a wheelchair accessible Telehealth Pod for health-related appointments at the Fletcher Branch in Hagerstown. Use of the Pod may not interfere with the normal operation of the Library. This Pod is intended to provide library patrons with a quiet, private space to conduct telehealth appointments with a medical provider.

**A library computer is not currently available for telehealth appointments.** Please bring your own laptop, tablet, phone, or other mobile device for use during your appointment.

Use of the Pod

Telehealth booth may be used for health-related appointments conducted by:

  • Videoconferencing (no computer or mobile device provided).
  • Still (high quality photo) images.
  • Telephone conference (no phone provided).

The Telehealth Pod is available without charge during regular library hours. Set-up and clean-up times must be included in the reserved time. Please check in at the third floor Information Services Desk at least five minutes before your scheduled appointment.  Appointments may be booked in hour blocks.

In permitting the use of the Telehealth Pod, the Washington County Free Library and its Board do not advocate or endorse the viewpoints expressed by any individuals using the facilities or take responsibility for any medical advice given during the use of the Pod.

Reservations:

  • Reservations may be made up to sixty (60) days in advance.

  • Requests are not considered booked until approved by library staff and you receive a confirmation.
  • Patrons who book, but do not use the telehealth booths are requested to give notice as soon as possible, but no less than two hours in advance of the reservation start time. Individuals who repeatedly fail to do so may have their privileges revoked.
