Free Health Kiosk at the Webster School Thanks to Partnership with Flagler Health+

The Webster School has its very own health kiosk at the school, where students, their families and even members of the West Augustine community can see a doctor free of charge.

 

The Flagler Health Plus Kiosk is a telemedicine healthcare kiosk, where patients can consult a doctor over a special computer.

At the Webster Health Kiosk, you will follow a series of prompts filling out any necessary health information, and if needed the doctor will request that you use any one of the tools connected to the kiosk, so the doctor can see your vital results in real time.

If you are an adult, you can use the health kiosk on your own.

If a student needs to use to Health Kiosk without a parent or guardian present, The Webster School has several trained employees, who can help when needed.

How The Webster Health Kiosk Works:

1. The Health Kiosk is located in the Flagler Health Plus Wellness Clinic at the Parent Outreach Center on the north end of the teacher parking lot, and it is fenced off from the rest of the school for community access. This means that you do not have to sign in at the school (unless you're signing out your student).
2. You will be greeted by Brigid Barrett, the Wellness Coordinator, or by one of the trained Community Partnership School staff members, who will explain how to use the Health Kiosk.
3. The Webster Health Kiosk is designed in a way that adults can go through the registration process themselves by following the prompts.
4. You will be asked about symptoms and health concerns.
5. You will be asked to take your vitals with the various sanitized tools available.
6. You will then wait for a doctor to become available, which might take a few minutes.
7. When seeing the doctor you will be alone in the room for privacy.
8. The doctor will listen to your complaints, ask for you to use any of the additional tools if needed, and he can refer you, give you recommendations or send a prescription to the pharmacy of your choice if needed.
9. If you need a doctor's note, make sure to ask, so that the doctor can send it to your email.
10. The entire appointment may take 20 - 30 minute.
