Health Information
 Access to reliable, up-to-date health care information is important to
you and your family.
We invite you to turn to
MedlinePlus, one of the most trusted online sources for health information. Created and maintained by the National Library of Medicine and the
National Institutes of Health, MedlinePlus provides comprehensive information on wellness topics, specific diseases and conditions, drugs and other health resources.
We are pleased to bring

Looking for health information? Healthnet: Connecticut Consumer
Health Information Network, a program of the Lyman Maynard Stowe Library
at the Health Center, can help. Healthnet is a free research service to
Connecticut residents who have medical questions related to a personal
concern.
Here’s How the Program Works
- You call
Healthnet at 860-679-4055 with a medical question or
questions.
- Your questions are answered by experienced, consumer
health librarians who use the complete resources of the
medical school library, including online databases, medical
textbooks, and Internet resources, to put together an
up-to-date information packet based on your individual
needs.
- The information will be mailed to your home or will be
available to be picked up at the library.
- It’s
important to note that the librarian will provide
information only, not medical advice or opinion.
For more information, visit
the Healthnet web site. Here, you will find a list of
resource guides on topics such as aging, navigating the healthcare
system, children’s health, mental health, and more. These resource
guides have recommended books, organizations to contact, and Internet
sources on the topic. There’s also a list of recommended Internet sites
on more than 25 topics to use if you want to do your own research. |
