Heading into the 21st century, people are finding it increasingly important to learn more about health care. With the evolving changes in the health care system and the growing trend of shorter hospital stays, the Health Information Center is a valuable resource for people seeking to further educate themselves.

The Health Information Center provides up-to-date health information for patients, families and the community. Videos, books, pamphlets, audio tapes, periodicals, literature, and the INFO track computer for article searches are all available free of charge. Some of the titles available in the center are:

* To Be Alive

* Eating On The Run

* Living Well, Staying Well

* The Eating Disorder Source Book
