Link to December 20 News-Times article, "Partnership between New Milford Hospital and public library give residents new health tool".
Excerpt: With a home computer and a library card, local residents can now access a one-stop health-care website that can give them the latest information on how to prevent, treat or manage any imaginable disease.
They can even see video clips on surgical techniques, or listen to live debates on alternative medicine.
New Milford Hospital and the New Milford Public Library are collaborating on a new venture aimed at empowering people to improve their own health care by offering them on-site and online resources that include mainstream medical practices as well as integrative, alternative practices and natural health remedies.
To that end, the two groups have created the Community Health Information Center that has not only a physical headquarters in a corner of the library's lower-level research center designated with a specially designed logo, but an online component exclusively linked to the library's website: Ebsco Consumer Health Complete.
