 Gender Focus for the Clinic/Public Library Partnership Project:
We have found that women are important gate keepers for health information and health promotion in families. Empowering women to get good health information at our public libraries helps the whole family and the community link to wellness..

About the Clinic/Public Library Partnership:
The Utah Women's Health Information Network (UWIN), a program of the University of Utah, Health Sciences Center, Center of Excellence in Women's Health, became a reality in November, 2007 with receipt of a grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to improve health care for Utah women and thus all Utah residents through their families.
One of the primary goals of UWIN is to make more reliable health information available to health-care providers and their patients who share constituencies with neighborhood public library throughout Utah. Through this initiative, public libraries across Utah will form partnerships with their community health clinics. Clinicians will become informed about the consumer health resources and help at their public libraries and in turn patients will become more informed about not only health but all the services and resources at their neighborhood library. A true “UWIN” for health care providers as well as the patients they serve.
Stay tuned to this site for further developments…and in the meantime check out your public library for health information for yourself and your family.
