Event Details

The Healthy Libraries Program (HeLP) consists of students currently training in the fields of social work, public health, library science, and physician’s assistant, who will be onsite at the library to provide blood pressure screenings and to answer questions and provide reliable, evidence-based information on a wide variety of health topics such as heart disease, diabetes, understanding medications and much more. The students will also be available to direct patrons to community resources, help fill out paperwork for social services, find housing resources, and assist with finding a healthcare provider and scheduling appointments.
