Program Description

Event Details

The Healthy Libraries Program (HeLP) involves students from social work, public health, library science, and physician’s assistant programs who provide blood pressure screenings and answer health-related questions. They offer reliable information on topics like heart disease and diabetes, assist with social services paperwork, help patrons find community resources and healthcare providers, and schedule appointments. Additionally, students from the cancer services department are working off-site to create evidence-based resources for library patrons to address their healthcare needs.
