"Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are."
-Mason Cooley
There is nothing that affects a person's well-being so much as good health or a lack of it. It is the rare individual indeed who can pass through life completely unaffected by any medical condition or disease. Our experience at the library has been that people want to know as much as possible about their ailments and what alternatives are available to them.  To that end, we recommend you try these sources to find information and support. Please note that you should always consult your physician with any questions regarding your health problems.
