Council approves ECU Health agreement to install blood pressure kiosks at town facilities
Summary
Council approved an agreement with ECU Health to place automated blood pressure kiosks at town hall (lobby) and the Shepherd Memorial Library; the town will maintain insurance as required by the contract, and ECU will support telehealth check‑ins when available.
Town attorney and staff described an agreement with ECU Health to install a blood pressure kiosk and related telehealth capability in public locations, including the town hall lobby and the library. The attorney said the town would not own the device outright; it would remain under contract terms and the town is required under the agreement to maintain insurance coverage.
Council asked where kiosks would be located; staff said one would be in the town hall lobby and another at the library, where ECU Health already partners with the library for screenings and can connect users to providers when appointments are available. The council approved the agreement after staff assured members any town liability would be limited and covered by insurance.
