Bridging Health Information Gaps at the Public Library

Through Health Team training, targeted use of specific online resources, and the efforts of a Health Outreach Specialist, Portland Public Library will improve the health of the Greater Portland community's teen, immigrant/refugee, and homeless populations. This improved access to health information will result in members of these groups reporting an increase in their levels of overall health literacy and their ability to be confident, informed patients as they navigate their healthcare options.
