What is the Community Health Resource Library (CHRL)?
The goal of the Community Health Resource Library is to provide the services of a traditional library such as reference books, books to check out, brochures, periodicals, along with access to web-base health information through the streaMed patient portal. The streamMed system offers access to more than 350 health related videos and 750 printable educational handouts. A committee composed of WHC staff and a community volunteer with library experience is working to identify the needs of the library, as well as funding opportunities.
Why does Waverly need a Community Health Resource Library?
Information and education are instrumental in helping patients understand and participate in their health care choices. The Community Health Resources Library will be a one stop location for much of the educational material that has been available throughout Waverly Health Center. By compiling them in one location, more people will have access to the resources.
Where is the Community Health Resource Library?
The Community Health Resource Library is located on the third floor of Waverly Health Center’s Centennial Pavilion. It is centrally located across from the nurse’s station and near the family lounge.
Who can use the Community Health Resource Library?
Anyone from the community has access to the library. The computer kiosk hosting the streaMed program is available 24 hours a day. The published materials including brochures, magazines and health resource publications are being assembled and will be available for checkout in the future.
