Official Healthy People 2030 Champions web badgeLocated in the Business, Government & Science Division of Main Library, the Health Information Center is more than just a collection of materials. Our staff are all Consumer Health Information Specialists, a designation of the Medical Library Association, and are committed to provide trustworthy consumer health information to the community in a variety of formats. The goal is to make it easier to find current, authoritative and evidence based information for library users.

Health Information Resources:

Much of the most current information may be in a database or on a website. We can help you search for those resources too. You can also learn to evaluate the information on the web and be sure that you are looking at quality unbiased information.

Disclaimer:
The resources in the Health Information Center are intended to provide public access to a wide range of health and disease information and should not be construed as medical advice or be used as a substitute for consultation with a health care professional.

Our Mission: The Akron-Summit County Public Library provides resources for learning and leisure, information services, meeting spaces, and programs for all ages that support, improve, and enrich individual, family, and community life.
