The state of Delaware has expanded its telehealth kiosk program from three libraries in Sussex County to 13 statewide, according to a press release.

Telehealth services help Delawareans access telehealth medicine, employment, housing and legal services assistance and are now available at five libraries in Sussex County, one in Kent County and seven in New Castle County.

U.S. Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester, D-Delaware, secured $275,000 in Community Project Funding in 2022 to add eight additional telehealth kiosks in libraries throughout Delaware including in Wilmington, Newark, Elsmere, Woodlawn, Bear, Dover, Milford, Georgetown, Lewes and Laurel.

Rochester joined Dr. Annie Norman, Delaware state librarian, at the Wilmington Public Library to celebrate the expansion.
