Dear colleagues,

 

The University of Michigan Health System (UMHS) maintains a database of patient education materials used in our health system. The database is available for free on the Internet and requires no registration or login. The URL is: http://careguides.med.umich.edu/

 

The site includes materials that have been created by U-M Health System experts on many difficult-to-find topics, rare conditions and state-of-the-art therapies. It also includes materials from other organizations that have been reviewed and approved by U-M experts. Print materials, videos, websites and apps are included. 

 

Feel free to link http://careguides.med.umich.edu/ to your library’s website and help your patrons access clinician-vetted, current and accurate patient-education materials.

 

Here is a link to a flyer you can print and distribute at your library, health fairs or other events.
